“The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the first”
(Job 42:12). “For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have
an abundance” (Matthew 25:29). Both of these statements occur within the
context of the call to be faithful to God. This faithfulness to God is
not something in which man himself glories – “Then the righteous will
answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty
and give You something to drink?” (Matthew 25:37). In view of the Lord’s
blessing, His people say, “The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted be God my Saviour!” (Psalm 18:46).
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.
