2 Kings 6-8

I did not post a reflection on the readings specified for yesterday. So I am reading and posting today...

I’m noticing that there are more miracle stories associated with Elisha than with Elijah. Maybe the stories are intended to show that Elisha indeed inherited a double portion of Elijah’s spirit (reference 2 Kings 2:9).
