Each day, we stand between the past and the future. In our prayers, we
call upon God to "remember" (Nehemiah 13:14,22,29,31). There are two
different kinds of 'remembering' here. God remembers his faithful
servants. He also remembers those who have been unfaithful. As we face
the future, we must be guided by both the Gospel invitation and the
Gospel warning (Revelation 22:17-19). Salvation is offered to all. It is
to be received by faith in Christ. There is also judgment for those
who refuse to "come" to Him. Whatever our reaction to Him may be,
God maintains His saving intention. He waits patiently for us to heed
the call to "praise the Lord" (Psalm 150:1,6). "Let everything that has
breath praise the Lord" (Psalm 150:6).
The power of God was upon Elisha. God was at work in mighty power. When we red about Elisha, we say, in our hearts, ‘This is not about Elisha. This is about God - - God working through Elisha.’ We must always remember to give all the glory to the Lord. The praise does not belong to the servant. It belongs to the Lord. He alone is worthy of praise.
