15 The LORD said to him, "Go back the
way you came, and go to the Desert of
Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over
Aram.

king over Israel, and anoint Elisha

18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel--all whose knees have not bowed down to
Baal and all whose mouths have not
kissed him."

19 So Elijah went from there and
found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was
plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving
the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him.

20 Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. “Let me kiss my father
and mother goodbye,” he said,
“and then I will come with you.” “Go back,” Elijah
replied. “What have I done to you?”

21 So Elisha left him and went back. He
took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered
them. He burned the plowing equipment to
cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he
set out to follow Elijah and became his
servant.

Living is a Thirst and Hunger for God. And one of the main reasons
people do not understand or experience the sovereignty of grace
and the way it works through the awakening of sovereign joy is that
their hunger and thirst for God is so small.
