People pass on, God remains

He (Elisha) took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.
2 Kings 2:14.

People pass on, God remains
Elisha had been called to be the prophet Elijah's successor. After they had crossed the Jordan together, a chariot of fire drawn by horse of fire suddenly appeared and separated them. Elijah was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind. The prophet had left this earth.

We can have a similar experience, if not so spectacular as Elijah and Elisha. The Lord calls faithful servants to be with Him. Dearly loved relatives who have been a help to us are taken home. Perhaps God has even taken a married partner through death. We stand there alone and wonder how our life will proceed without that invaluable person at our side. Or how will the testimony of the assembly continue, when God calls away the leaders of His people?

Elisha returned to the Jordan in the knowledge that he was in demand as the prophet in Israel. But he did not consider himself and his powers. He took the mantle of his predecessor and struck the water with it saying, "Where is the LORD God of Elijah?" And the river was immediately divided, so that he could cross over on dry land. God had remained the same. He was to be Elisha's source of strength.

When we have to mourn the loss of a dear relative or faithful servant of the Lord's, let us never forget that God never changes. He ever remains the same. Let us rest on Him and continue on our pathway of faith with His help and strength, till we all reach our glorious goal in heaven.

Today's reading: Isaiah 8:1-22 · Acts 23:11-22
