What does Elisha’s double portion teach us about faith?

Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit, stayed with him, then picked up the mantle and called on the Lord at the Jordan. The other prophets recognized what God had done. The story pairs a request for spiritual inheritance with action that depends on God.

Read the Bible (KJV) · 2 Kings 2:9-15 · Hebrews 11:6

Put it into practice · Pray for God’s help with a responsibility He has given you. Take one step of service that uses what you have already received.
