Daily Devotional for May 16, 2026

Let's talk about picking up the mantle. 🧥 Elisha watches Elijah leave and picks up his dropped cloak. It wasn't just clothing; it was the calling made visible. He strikes the river and asks, "Where is the God of Elijah?" That isn't doubt; it's a declaration of inheritance. In the empire, promotion means autonomy—you finally answer to no one. In the Kingdom, promotion means dependency. You don't have to feel like Elijah to pick up the mantle. Strike the water today.
