“The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the Lord commanded to be done” (Exodus 36:5).
“The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up
seven baskets full of broken pieces that were left over” (Mark 8:8).
Jesus always has more to give than we are able to receive. Our response
is to be an increased generosity in our giving to Him. We face the
multiplying of troubles - “The troubles of my heart have multiplied” -
and the increase of opposition - “See how my enemies have increased” (Psalm 25:17,19).
In this deeply distressing situation, the multiplying of God’s saving
grace and the increase of His keeping power - “May integrity and
uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord, is in You. Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles!” (Psalm 25:21-22).
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.
