The story of our life is only understood once we see the full
picture. The book of Job is not understood by reading the words of Job
and his ‘comforters’. We must also hear the Word of the Lord. The
history of God’s salvation is not understood by reading only about
Christ’s first coming. We must look on to His Second Coming. Concerning
that Coming, we might imagine Jesus Christ speaking to the Father in the
words of the Psalmist: “You armed me with strength for battle; You
humbled my adversaries before me” (Psalm 18:39; see also Philippians
2:9-11 and 1 Corinthians 15:24-28).
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.
