Grace for your spirit
So he returned from following him, and took the pair of oxen and sacrificed them and boiled their flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave it to the people and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah and ministered to him. I Kings 19:21
When Elisha was called to follow and replace Elijah, he was ready to go and he wasn't coming back. He literally burned all of his bridges behind him. The call to us for being Christ's disciple demands the same. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up His cross, and follow Him. It is a call to come and die, and live for Him. Every time God's people look back, and make provisions to quit, it ruins their spiritual lives. When we totally trust in the Lord, He will make our paths straight, and we will never have a reason to look or go back.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
