What a difference there is between Moses, coming down from Mount Sinai,
and the Pharisees of Jesus’ day. Moses had “the two tablets of the
testimony in his hands” and “his face was radiant” (Exodus 24:29-30). Concerning the Pharisees, Jesus, quoting Isaiah 29:13, said, “These people honour Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me” (Mark 7:6).
How can we be radiant, like Moses, and not hypocritical, like the
Pharisees? - “My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only He will release my
feet from the snare” (Psalm 25:15).
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.
