As 2 Kings begins, we see the transfer from one prophet to the next. Elisha must now go on without Elijah, but as he does, he will not be without Elijah’s God, who will remain with Him—faithful and victorious as He always has been.
Before you begin
Ask the Lord to give you a fresh sense of wonder as you read His Word. Pray for understanding and for an open, humble, obedient heart to receive what He wants to say to you.

Review
Write a sentence or two about what you've just read. This could be a summary of the passage or an observation or highlight that stood out to you.
Reflect
Who has been an “Elijah” in your life, and what is or would it be like to lean on the Lord as you move forward without them?
"Pride, in whatever form it takes, is an enemy of Heaven’s rule because it keeps us from acknowledging or even seeing the truth about ourselves and God." —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
Respond
Write a short prayer, based on today’s reading. This could include praise, gratitude, personal confession, agreement with the truth, or a request for yourself or someone else.
