2 Kings 2:1-2, 6-14
2Ki 2:1 When the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal.
2Ki 2:2 Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here; the LORD has sent me to Bethel." But Elisha said, "As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.
2Ki 2:6 Then Elijah said to him, "Stay here; the LORD has sent me to the Jordan." And he replied, "As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So the two of them walked on.
2Ki 2:7 Fifty men of the company of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan.
2Ki 2:8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
2Ki 2:9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, "Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?" "Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit," Elisha replied.
2Ki 2:10 "You have asked a difficult thing," Elijah said, "yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise not."
2Ki 2:11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
2Ki 2:12 Elisha saw this and cried out, "My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!" And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them apart.
2Ki 2:13 He picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
2Ki 2:14 Then he took the cloak that had fallen from him and struck the water with it. "Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?" he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.
Psalm 77:1-2, 10-20
Psa 77:1 I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me.
Psa 77:2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands and my soul refused to be comforted.Psa 77:10 Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years of the right hand of the Most High."
Psa 77:11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
Psa 77:12 I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds.
Psa 77:13 Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so great as our God?
Psa 77:14 You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
Psa 77:15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
Psa 77:16 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed.
Psa 77:17 The clouds poured down water, the skies resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth.
Psa 77:18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
Psa 77:19 Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.
Psa 77:20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Galatians 5:1, 13-26
Gal 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Gal 5:13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.
Gal 5:14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
Gal 5:15 If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
Gal 5:16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
Gal 5:17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.
Gal 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
Gal 5:19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
Gal 5:20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
Gal 5:21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Gal 5:23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Gal 5:24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
Gal 5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
Gal 5:26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Luke 9:51-62
Luk 9:51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
Luk 9:52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him;
Luk 9:53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem.
Luk 9:54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?"
Luk 9:55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them,
Luk 9:56 and they went to another village.
Luk 9:57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
Luk 9:58 Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
Luk 9:59 He said to another man, "Follow me." But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
Luk 9:60 Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
Luk 9:61 Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family."
Luk 9:62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."
