The most important thing of all is to be in a right relationship with God. This is the point which is emphasized in Israel’s sacrificial system. All other relationships are secondary to our relationship with God. Jesus makes this point in Mark
10:29-30 - Leave all your loved ones for Him and the Gospel and you
will “receive a hundred times as much in this present age ... and in the
age to come eternal life.” The Psalmist affirms that his relationship
with God is more important than anything else: “Though my father and
mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me” (Psalm 27:10).
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.
