The life and ministry of Elisha can shed light on our walk as believers if we make applications to ourselves.  The prophet Elisha shows us that God doesn’t ask us to be perfect, but He does expect us to respond willingly to His call.  The only question is, will we stay by the stuff, keep the faith, and overcome like Elisha when our faith is tried?  Or will we fall away and defect, like so many people in the Bible?
