2 Kings 2:9 – “…Tell me what I can do for you before I am taken from you.” Life has a way of bringing you around. It can make you think you’re something, and it makes you think you’re nothing. Sometimes in a single day. If you are careful, you learn the balance of […]
Day 14 – We All Have A Time
2 Kings 2:1 – “The time had come for the Lord to take Elijah up to heaven…” It’s a hard thing for someone to leave this earth, that you so greatly love. It can also be equally hard to now know or understand why they were taken when they were. Some live a long […]

1 King 19:15 – “Then the Lord said to him, “Go back by the way you came…” You can always tell when a person has given up. Seldom is anything spoken of that’s positive. The outlook is always negative. You see a way out of where you are. No future. Nothing good. Only bad. […]

Day 7 – Troublemaker
1 Kings 18:17 – When Ahab saw him, he exclaimed, “So, is it really you, you troublemaker of Israel?” Remember that one kid in school, or the on the bus, who was always in some kind of trouble? Not ordinary trouble, but big trouble. Trouble so bad, that when he was punished, everyone suffered […]
