*A thought*:
It is often thought that Elisha wanted a ministry twice as great as Elijah's when he uttered the words: "let me inherit a double portion". Actually he was asking to carry on Elijah's ministry. Inheritance law assigned a double portion to the firstborn (see Deuteronomy 21:17). How passionately do you long to continue in the style and character of
your Master who walked on this earth?
*Week #24 Memory Verse*:
Hebrews 12:2
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God"
