people in the Bible: Elisha by ric Gustafson
Elisha had the distinction of following behind a great man. That man was Elijah. Joshua followed behind the great Moses. Joshua 1:5 says that God promised him that he would be with him and will not forsake him. Elisha carved his own ministry for fifty years. He received a double portion of Elijah's spirit and performed twice as many miracles as Elijah.
We should not fear following great people. We should not fill their shoes but follow in their footsteps. God will give us our own shoes to fill.
