These daily online studies are adapted from our Quiet Time Bible Guide. The studies go through the Old and New Testaments in just over two years. The approach taken by our quiet time Bible studies does not include answers. The goal of the study is to help you dig into Scripture for yourself. You can go deeper using a commentary, Bible background guide or Bible handbook.
For more context before you begin studying, read this introduction to the book of 2 Kings.
When our oldest daughter, Sheri, left for college, it was a big transition for our family. She played all four stringed instruments—and several instruments of other varieties. Her part-time job during high school was to teach younger music students. At the same time our next-oldest daughter, Lori, a cellist and a flutist, was being asked to consider picking up some of Sheri's students. It was a scary thought, walking in the footsteps of a respected older sister. Sure, Lori had studied hard and practiced a lot. But she was younger and inexperienced. The mantle was on the ground. Would she pick it up? Elisha had to make the same decision.
In what area of your life are you anxious about taking on a responsibility that you think has been given to you?
Ask God to encourage you through the time of transition that you face.
