2 Kings 2:22

In the midst of hurts, challenges of subservient status, insecurities, and longing for love and acceptance, the Women of the Bible reveal the current quandaries of today’s women. Separated by ages past, their emotions were real and their ordeals just as relevant now. As in the author’s life, let the Women of the Bible bring you to a place of healing, encouragement, self-examination, and affirmation of God’s love for you.

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.

The Bible contains many inspiring stories from the life and work of Elisha the prophet. These stories show us who God is and how He works in amazing ways!
