The journey with Jesus isn’t always easy. It teaches us that struggles and trials can shape our character, strengthen our faith, and draw us closer to God.

The prophet Haggai’s preaching, found in the book of Haggai, emphasizes obedience and prioritizing God’s work. After the Babylonian exile, the Israelites returned to Jerusalem and began rebuilding the temple, but opposition and personal concerns led them to abandon the project. Haggai, sent by God, challenged the people to “consider your ways” (Haggai 1:5, KJV), urging them to resume the temple construction instead of focusing solely on their own houses and comfort.

The passing of authority from Elijah to Elisha represents the continuation of God’s prophetic work in Israel. Elisha’s request for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit is fulfilled, as he goes on to perform many miracles, even more than Elijah did. This story also highlights themes of loyalty, faith, and the continuation of divine mission through chosen leaders.
