God doesn’t abandon us when we’re suffering. When Jesus asked His disciples, ”Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” (Matthew 20:22),
He was teaching them that there would be suffering. There’s a great
difference between the way in which worldly people and godly people
react to suffering. ”Men of this world whose reward is in this life” (Psalm 17:14)
don’t see any eternal purpose in suffering. The believer looks beyond
the suffering to the glory which is yet to come: “And I, in
righteousness, I shall see Your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied
with seeing Your likeness” (Psalm 17:15).
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.
