Study10B..Elisha seems fully confident that the waters will part. And when they do, he does not hesitate, but walks across on dry land. Elisha's question is not a question at all but an exclamation of faith.

Stidy10B..ELIJAH’’ S GOD IS OUR GOD
2king2:14-17 Luke9:28-36
But not so with Elisha. He rolls the mantle and asks the question as he's striking the water. Elisha seems fully confident that the waters will part. And when they do, he does not hesitate, but walks across on dry land. Elisha's question is not a question at all but an exclamation of faith.
The last point is
2 . ELIJAH’’ S GOD IS OUR GOD : When do we especially need to be reminded of this?
When we have experienced the sorrow of separation and bereavement. Elisha knew Elijah was to leave him, but that did not lessen the blow when it actually happened. When bereavement comes to us, perhaps more than at any other time, we need to experience the power, presence and sufficiency of our God. Elijah’’s God, the mighty, comforting God, is our God.
When we are about to undertake some new responsibility in service. Elisha was now commencing his ministry as Elijah’’s successor; the responsibility was great and he felt his own inadequacy and insufficiency for the task –- but God was the same! The God who has so wonderfully used His servants all down the ages is
with us to bless and use us.
When we are confronted by obstacles and problems which defy human solution. Elisha faced the Jordan. Elijah had crossed it by performing a miracle –- but would God do the same for him? Yes! –- and the same miracle-working God will give
us grace to overcome our obstacles and solve our problems.
When we are surrounded by unbelievers, sceptics and enemies of the Lord. Elisha had to face the scepticism of the sons of the prophets (2 Kings 2:16-18), and the mockery of the young men (vv. 23-25). He needed to know the mighty God of Elijah was on his side. Are you scoffed at and mocked because you are a Christian? Encourage yourself that Elijah’’s God is your God.
When we need to let others see that our faith is working. Picture Elisha smiting the waters with the mantle and asking, ““Where now is the Lord, the God of Elijah?”” What was the reaction of the watching college students to the mighty demonstration of the power of God? Verse 15 tells us.
The world is waiting to see visible evidence that God is alive and active. When unbelieving and sceptical men and women see the power of God operating in the lives of His people and in His Church then they will fall at His feet in worship and faith. That will be revival.Elisha's question is not a question at all but an exclamation of faith.What are your questions in the time of your trouble?
