Elisha knew it was his last day with his teacher, leader and mentor. This was confirmed through other prophets in the towns they were going through, and no matter how often he was told to stay where he was by Elijah, Elisha refused to leave him.
It made me think how different we are today in many ways. We aren't great followers of God's appointed leaders. We prefer to put down our leaders and think of ourselves as a better leader ourselves. Elisha knew Elijah had the power of God on him - Spiritual leadership, something we really don't respect well today.
Since I have the gift of Spiritual discernment it is much more obvious to me how important, and real, Spiritual authority is! Pray your eyes will be opened to this also, it will enhance your leadership - being submissive under your Spiritual leaders - try it!
Pray for our Spiritual leaders - their placement and their future decisions.
"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong."
1 Corinthians 1:27
