2 Kings 13:19

2 Kings 13:19

And the man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck Syria till you had destroyed it! But now you will strike Syria only three times.”

2 Kings 13:19

When Elisha was on his death bed, the king of Israel, Joash, came to him for direction. Elisha responds by asking him to do something out of the ordinary. Elisha told Joash to shoot an arrow out of the window and then asked him to strike the ground with another arrow. Joash did as Elisha asked, but he did so half-heartily and only struck the ground three times.

This verse Is Elisha’s response to Joash. When we do things half-heartily for the Lord, we miss out on His best. There may be times when God calls you to do something out of the normal. When He does, follow through with all your heart. Don’t be like Joash and miss out on all that God has planned for you.

For the King,

Pastor Daniel Batistelli
