Chapter-a-Day 2 Kings 2
One day the men of the city said to Elisha, "You can see for yourself, master, how well our city is located. But the water is polluted and nothing grows." 2 Kings 2:19 (MSG)
It doesn't matter how well situated I am in life and how good things look from the outside. If I am drinking unclean water on a daily basis, then my whole life will be poisoned at the core.
"Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst—not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life." - Jesus
Elisha said, "Your life repeated in my life. I want to be a holy man just like you."
What a great request. We all have people in our lives who are spiritual mentors to us. It may be a parent, grandparent, friend, pastor, youth group leader, etc. To be given the choice of what that leader can give you before they are gone, and to request to be like them is quite an honor. That's a legacy, no?
