II Kings 1:1-4:44; Psalm 82:1-83:18 We return to the latter ministry of Elijah and the commissioning of Elisha in this section.  What is wrong with Jehoshaphat's timing of seeking the Lord's leading as he considers going to battle?  How are the miracles of Elisha comparable to those of Elijah?

Family Devotions—Scripture & Questions:
Read II Kings 1:5-18. Are you ever tempted to get counsel from unbiblical sources? Do you resent God's messengers like Ahaziah seemed to do? How do you show respect for those who teach you God's Word?

Biblical Prayer Focus:
Psalm 131:1-2 O LORD, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Give the Lord worship by quieting your soul and choosing to spend a few minutes of just calmly sitting and enjoying His perfect parental love.
