Double Portion

2 Kings 2:9
"And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me."
King Solomon was once put in a similar situation, an open ended question, ask what you will. We often praise him for his wise choice, asking for wisdom instead of riches, glory and long life. God was indeed pleased with his request and gave him above and beyond what he asked.
However we know that despite his great wisdom, Solomon did not apply the wisdom in his head to his heart and ended his life in idolatry and wickedness.
Here we see Elisha granted a request and he knows exactly what to ask for. He, like Solomon, doesn't seek wealth or glory. Unlike Solomon though, he seeks something beyond mere wisdom. Rather he wants a double portion of Elijah's spirit. Elijah's relationship with God was unprecedented, but Elisha wanted twice what Elijah had. Knowing God and fearing Him is the beginning of wisdom. A life dedicated to loving, knowing and serving God is a life storing untold treasures in Heaven, bringing glory to God.
If I were Solomon or Elisha, what would my request be?
