Day 202..."Elisha brings water and a child back to life...Parable of the weeds"

Elisha demonstrates his power as water comes from under the ground. A massive army and livestock are parched with thirst and gain relief. Later he brings a child (the Shunammite's Son) back to life as the child laid lifeless the longest and then sneezes seven times! Elisha also can cook as he intervenes in the nick of time with a pot of poison stew. Isaiah speaks with truth when he lays out there to folly of humankind..."Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness,who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!" The parable of the weeds demonstrates the sorting out of good and evil. Also, weeds can set in so quickly and in this case planted in the night by the enemy. God seeks to bring growth. The Evil One seeks to undo God's seeds, planting, and the bearing of fruit.

When Elisha was asked what he wanted, he requested a double portion of what Elijah had. If one counts the miracles accomplished by God through Elisha, they are exactly double those God accomplished through Elijah. Praise God.
