Elisha Creative Character Study: Back-To-School

[This post may include affiliate links. Visit our Principles page, for full disclosure.]

Did you know that Elisha performed far more miracles than any of the other Old Testament prophets, including Elijah?

Plus, another interesting fact I discovered that shows a parallel between the two prophets was that Elisha’s first miracle was identical to Elijah’s last miracle.

Back-To-School

Please join me for this third installment in our back-to-school themed series and enjoy the FREE Bible study/journaling printables that are included with each post. This week we will be journaling and studying Elisha.

Character Study: Elisha

Elisha was the son of a farmer, Shaphat, and lived in Abel-meholah. For the most part, the record of his life consists of his supernatural miracles.

Elisha first appears in 1 Kings 19:16. When he was asked to follow Elijah, he went. He was unbelievably obedient and faithful. His name means God is salvation.

Elisha’s Bible Study Printables

Each post in this Back-to-School series will include FREE printables, both creative ones and notes, to help you get started with your own study of Elisha.

  • A yearbook page including the four Bible characters from this series.
  • Elisha’s quick-look about me page
  • A handdrawn contemporary portrait of Elisha that you can print or trace in your own Bible
    [My 21 year old daughter, Antonette, drew all the characters in this series. You can find her on IG @notthesameasyesterday]

Finishing Touch…

Like we’ve done in the previous two character studies of this series, take the free Bible study printables and begin your own study of Elisha. There is a second page that is a continuation of Elisha’s miracles and also provides room for you to add your own findings. Then, add Elisha’s portrait to your Bible and include any notes you want to remember in the margins.

Note: If you have not yet read the first or second post, on Noah and Ruth, in our back-to school series, please head over there now. There are even more printables in each of those character studies.

I think I like them a lot both ways! I wish the camera picked up the glitter on their wings. #hispalette #biblejournaling #biblejournalingcommunity #illustratingmyfaith #bibleart #faithart #bibleartjournaling #mixedmedia #printables #biblejournalingprintable
