The offerings were to be “made to the Lord”. They were to be “pleasing
to the Lord.” These recurring phrases emphasize the importance of
keeping the Lord at the centre of all that we do. We are not to argue
about who is the greatest (Mark 9:34).
There is one Name that is above every name. It is the Name of Jesus.
Our sacrifice is to be the sacrifice of joy. Let us, with gladness,
bring our sacrifice of joy to the Lord - “at His tabernacle I will
sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord” (Psalm 27:6).
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.
