Elijah found his substitute Elisha in his purpose doing work in the field

About This Quote

The Prophet Malachi said, "In the same way, you will seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart." (1:14) This passage reveals that the most important thing a person can do is to have a purpose. What purpose is best described as being a “substitute” for God. The prophet Malachi was describing the prophet Elijah, whom he said “had done all the deeds of Elijah.” (1:8) It was as if Elijah had been living as a regular person but had been called back to be the prophet of Israel again.
