Double Blessing Part 3

2. The Word of God

Bethel was known as the House of God. It was there that Jacob had set up a monument as he was fleeing from his brother. It was at Bethel that the covenant to Abraham was reconfirmed to his grandson Jacob. As Elijah and Elisha passed through Bethel Elijah again asked his companion to remain behind. It was as if he was saying to him to remain and the house of God and remember all the good things that God had done form them. But once again Elisha was not content to just stay and remember what God had done. Elijah was continuing his ministry and Elisha wanted to be with him. How often we are distracted bow often we are distracted b the good things that God has done that we forget He has called us to continue until He calls us home.
