Recognizing God's Purpose

Today's Word:
"When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, ‘Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.’ And Elisha said, ‘Please let there be a double portion of your spirit on me.’" — 2 Kings 2:9 (ESV)
Thoughts on Today's Word:
Elisha’s request for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit was not about power for personal gain but about fulfilling the mission God had for him. He understood that to continue Elijah’s prophetic work, he needed more than just natural ability—he needed divine empowerment.
Like Elisha, we should desire more of God’s presence and power in our lives. Serving Him effectively requires dependence on the Holy Spirit, not just our own wisdom or strength. When we seek God wholeheartedly, He equips us to accomplish His purpose in ways beyond our imagination.
Prayer of the Day:
Heavenly Father, I long for more of You in my life. Fill me with Your Spirit and empower me to walk in obedience and faith. Help me to serve You with boldness and humility, knowing that all strength and wisdom come from You. Let my life reflect Your glory as I seek to fulfill the calling You have given me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Reflection:
Are you relying on your own strength, or are you seeking God’s power for your journey? Take a moment today to ask Him for a fresh outpouring of His Spirit in your life.
Father fill me with the Holy Spirit 🙏
