Sometimes stories in the Bible can leave us scratching our heads and asking, “What just happened?” The end of Elijah’s ministry and the beginning of Elisha’s ministry is full of stories that can seem flat-out strange. Some of those stories give us no explanation or means of understanding what is going one, but some give us an insight to how God works and what he intends to do through Elisha. From both Elijah and Elisha’s ministries, we must see that God is not limited by what makes sense to us or even how we might have done it. Instead, we must learn from a God that does things on his own terms for his own purposes in his own way.
