2 Kings 12-14

What a loss it was to Israel when Elisha died. One of the few voices who fervently spoke the truth of God's word in the nation now lay silent. King Jehoash recognized his position and sought his guidence while he lay on his death-bed. But the last recorded words of Elisha where words of disappointment. Jehoash still did not have the LORD's fire in his life. He must have missed the urgency in the dying prophet's words. So he did not receive God's deliverence. What a memory to carry with you as a king leading a troubled nation.
