THE BEST PATH

Passage: 1 Kings 19:21

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
So Elisha…took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his servant.
1 Kings 19:21, NIV

And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
1 Kings 19:21, KJV

TODAY’S WORD
Elisha was plowing in a field, leading the twelfth team of oxen, when the prophet Elijah walked up and threw his cloak on Elisha and said, “Come work for me.” Elisha was next in line to run their successful family business and had plenty of resources, staff, and a nice place to live. His future was set. Why would he want to leave? God suddenly dropped such a strong desire in Elisha that he left it all behind and went with Elijah to be his servant. Sometimes what God puts in your heart doesn’t make sense on paper or to other people. But God won’t move you out unless He has something better. Not long after that, Elijah was taken to Heaven, and Elisha received a double portion of his spirit. The prophet Elisha performed twice as many miracles as Elijah. If you keep God first, He’s going to put desires in you and open doors you never dreamed would open, bringing opportunities, influence, favour, and resources. THE BEST PATH is an ABUNDANT PATH that takes you further than you could imagine.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
“FATHER, thank You that You know the best path, the most abundant path, for my life. Thank You that You put the right desires in my heart to take me beyond where I would ever dream of going. I believe that You are opening doors even now that I could never open. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
