In Genesis 49, we read of Jacob’s blessings on his sons. In Matthew 18:1-4,
we read of the disciples asking Jesus, “Who is the greatest in the
Kingdom of heaven?” Jesus replied to them, “whoever humbles himself like
this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” In the Kingdom of
heaven, the glory doesn’t belong to man. It belongs to the Lord. It’s
not about man’s greatness. In the Kingdom of heaven, we see the
greatness of God – “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise” (Psalm 145:3).
Our worship is to be expressed in our lives as well as our words –
“ Lord, who may dwell in Your sanctuary? … The one whose walk is
blameless, who does what is righteous … Whoever does these things will
never be shaken” (Psalm 15:1-2,5).
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.
