The Gap and Your Mantle
Thursday, February 13, 2025
If we're honest with ourselves, we'll admit that there's a gap between the everyday life we live and the life we know we should live in God's Word, between the always victorious saint, pure, holy, loving, and light to the world and the person we see in the mirror. But instead of being discouraged about this gap, be encouraged. When Elijah threw His mantle over Elisha, undoubtedly Elisha felt unworthy of wearing such a garment. The mantle was the calling and Elisha, by the grace of God, would rise up to it. In the same way, if you never had a calling in your life then there would be no gap-you'd be what you were and nothing more. The fact that there's a gap means there's something more. The calling that God has on your life is higher than what your life is right now. If it weren't that way, then you wouldn't be going anywhere. Thus, it's good news that there's a gap. But the even better news is that, by His Holy Spirit, that gap in your life will be filled.
From Message #621 - The Mantle
Today's Mission
Today, ask God to fill in the gap between you and your calling and believe in His power to do it.
