Elisha took the mantle from his mentor, Elijah to carry on the good work that Elijah had committed to for a lifetime. Elisha’s faith was tested during this time of transition, tests that we all experience from time to time that push us to the limits of our faith. When we have a test of our faith, we also have a decision to make…to take up the mantel of leadership left to us or to let it go and leave it behind.

In the end, they wouldn’t even have to fight because God had delivered Jericho into their hands before they even drew the first sword! What walls do you have in front of you…
Forward – Building Memorials
