“So Elijah Went From There And Found Elisha Son Of Shaphat. He Was Plowing With Twelve Yoke Of Oxen, And He Himself Was Driving The Twelfth Pair. Elijah Went Up To Him And Threw His Cloak Around Him. Elisha Then Left His Oxen And Ran After Elijah. ‘Let Me Kiss My Father And Mother Good-By,’ He Said, ‘And Then I Will Come With You.’
‘Go Back,’ Elijah Replied. ‘What Have I Done To You?’
So Elisha Left Him And Went Back. He Took His Yoke Of Oxen And Slaughtered Them. He Burned The Plowing Equipment To Cook The Meat And Gave It To The People, And They Ate. Then He Set Out To Follow Elijah And Became His Attendant.”
-When Elijah called Elisha to join him, Elisha followed because it was God’s way. Though at the time, many prophets were being executed, Elisha didn’t hesitate, but only asked to say goodbye to his parents. Listen for God’s way, it may come from the mouth of someone you know, and you must be ready to follow God’s plan, for he acts in ways we can’t comprehend.
