Elijah was a man on the move; Elisha enjoyed a tranquil >life at home. Elijah's miracles were destructive; Elisha's were >constructive. >It must have been tempting for Elisha to want to be like Elijah. But he >resists it; that is not what the Lord has for Elisha. He is his own man >before the Lord. >It is often tempting for us to want to be like someone else, to be >dissatisfied with who we are and what we can do. Yet God made us to be >what He wanted us to be. We must be content with who we are. It is so >liberating. Accept yourself. God does. > >PRAYER >• Because the Lord made us and cares for us as we are, we offer Him the >praise of our lips: >When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, >The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, >What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You >visit him? . . . >O Lord, our Lord, >How excellent is Your name in all the earth! (Psalm 8:3-4, 9). > >• Pause for personal praise and thanksgiving. Pray this confession to >the Lord as you seek to keep your life free from sin: >I acknowledged my sin to You, >And my iniquity I have not hidden. >I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord," >And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. >Selah (Psalm 32:5). > >• Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind. Now pray >this affirmation to the Lord: >You will keep him in perfect peace, >Whose mind is stayed on You, >Because he trusts in You (Isaiah 26:3). > >• As you make your requests known to the Lord, include: >• greater love for your family, >• the work of missions in North and South America, >• whatever else is on your heart. > >• Finally, offer this closing prayer to the Lord: >May the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole >spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord >Jesus Christ(1 Thessalonians 5:23). > >Quiet Walk is published by Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, Inc. in >Atlanta, GA.
