Everyone is an Interim

Pastor Tom Lundeen

So what does it mean to  for God and His truth and embrace His mission when everyone and everything around us is standing for anything and everything else but God and His truth? 

This is why God’s Word  on us how important it is that we make full use of the gift of life God gives us (note Psalm 90:12; 39:4; Ephesians 5:16; Acts 13:36).

1. We’re All  

None of us are permanent fixtures in this life. 

Elijah had fallen into the trap of feeling that he was the  faithful person following God (note 1 Kings 19:14-16).

But Elijah wasn’t alone (note 1 Kings 19:18), and God had already chosen his .

Are you asking God to show you who your  could be?

2. Good  Don’t Just Happen

It takes  commitment (note 1 Kings 19:19-21).

Even the best transitions have  (note 2 Kings 2:2b, 3, 5) - Their relationship was more than just . Elijah was Elisha’s spiritual  (note 2 Kings 2:11-12). But the deep emotions displayed in these verses tell us even the best transitions have challenges to navigate. 

God uses  people to accomplish His mission (note 2 Kings 2:23; 1 Kings 19:19) - Elisha made a  request (note 2 Kings 2:9-10); but God confirmed it (2 Kings 2:13-15a). Elijah =  miracles; Elisha =  miracles.

SO WHO’S GOT THIS IN YOUR LIFE?:

We’re here for a short time compared to  (note Psalm 103:13-19).

Note 1 Corinthians 15:58
