Lent Day 39...Day 208 (2 Kings 3,4)..."Moving Toward Holy Week"

In the laying out of the schedule, I called for waiting until Palm Sunday to resume with the Gospel reading which coincides with Holy Week. My blog jumped ahead of the reading schedule so I am slowing back down.

In today's 2 Kings reading, Elisha performs miracles. One is the healing of a debt by collecting oil. Another about raising a dead boy who came out sneezing! And still another story that prepares the miraculous feeding of a hundred with little. This sounds familiar! I like this fourth chapter of 2 Kings in bringing one account after another of the miracles of God. Who says the Old Testament is just about an angry God? This chapter sounds New Testament.
