There is a judgment of God. Job’s ‘friends’ brought no comfort to
him. They failed to discern the presence and purpose of God in Job’s
sufferings. All the prophets of God and, above all, the Son of God,
encountered persecution. There will, however, come a day when the
enemies of the Lord will be brought to judgment: “The Lord thundered
from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. He shot His arrows
and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning He routed them”
(Psalm 18:13-14).
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.
