Elijah’s story takes center stage in the first book of Kings, an era in which the kingdom of Israel is led by one of its worst leaders, King Ahab. As Elijah’s ministry is coming to an end, 2 Kings 2:1-22 gives us an interesting story between his assistant ( Elisha) and him. I spent about a couple of months mediating on this passage and I still don’t think I fully understand the picture the Lord is painting for us in there. However, I wanted to share with you what I think the Holy spirit has disclosed to me as I pondered over the words on this chapter.

My name is Tayib Salami and I started Tayibs.com for the sole purpose of exploring difficult questions about the Christian faith that most of us shy away from. In 2017, I entered a very dark time in my life and it’s only by the grace of the Living God that I’m still alive today. It led me to really go deeper in my faith and consider a myriad of questions that I never thought about asking myself or others before. Welcome and enjoy the ride with me.
