Our lesson this week is about Elisha and Elijah. Our lesson comes from 1 Kings19:19-21. Elisha receives the call from God. After God summoned him, he was happy to go. He also fully committed to God's calling. As Christians we seek God's will everyday. The thing we may not realize is the everyday tasks that become so mundane for us may actually be God's will for our lives. For example, God's will for a student is to study and pass their classes. God's will for a doctor is to take care of his patients by making rounds and so on. God's will for a teacher is to do their lesson plans and come to work prepared to teach. The question you need to ask yourself this week while you are working on the computer, doing laundry, building homes, fighting a case in court and taking care of children is do you truly appreciate and out your all into God's will for you life right now? Or are you so busy seeking God's will that you do not realize your mundane tasks may be His will. Appreciate the everyday things of life and next time you are washing those dishes, thank God for the ability to follow His will.
