3. A time of victory
Jericho was the place of the Israelites first victory when they entered the land. When Elijah asked Elisha to stay there Elisha may have thought about remembering all of the victories that God had given them. It is a good thing to remember all that God has done for us but we cannot stay there. Past victories should just give us the motivation to move on to great victories. Elisha was not content to remember what God had done in the passed. He lived in anticipation of what God would do in the future. However, there are two dangers. Either we forget the past or else we live in the past. The first gives us fear to move forward, the second makes us complacent and we fail to move forward.
