Missed Opportunity
By Mark Flippo
2 Kings 13:
15-And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows.
16-And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands.
17-And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the Lord's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them.
18-And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.
19-And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.
This just shows us that when God impresses us about doing His work we better do it all the way! If you do not put your whole heart and mind into it, our benefits will be less. Our results will be less, also they will not be as great as it should have been! Let us do great things in God but do it His way!
