2 Kings 13:14-17

Is your soul screaming out that you were born for more than the life you are living? Have you undersold yourself, under-lived your life, and underestimated God’s intention for you? In this 5-day devotional, iconoclast and lead pastor of Mosaic, Erwin McManus, will point the way to leading a life of passion, adventure, and courage. Based on McManus’ new book, The Last Arrow, discover how to wholeheartedly pursue your dreams, to live this one life fully, and to die with an empty quiver.

Elisha is one of the most fascinating people found in God’s word. He was a prophet whose faith and miracles seem almost ridiculous. During this 13-day reading plan you will read through the life of Elisha and learn from his example of what life can look like when you let go and decide to live with ridiculous faith.

Elisha, the chosen successor to the great prophet Elijah, continues the practices that characterize his mentor’s ministry: boldness before kings, compassion for the vulnerable, and relentless faithfulness to the God who called and empowered him.

What began as a victorious return to the land in Joshua ends in destruction, defeat, and exile in 2 Kings. The idolatry and sinfulness of Israel and Judah lead to their expulsion from the land - a final ignominy in a long history of unfaithfulness. Yet even in exile, God was preserving his people and the line of David for a future coming King, whose reign would know no end.
