The Psalmist says, “I will exalt You, O Lord, for You lifted me out of the depths” (Psalm 30:10.
In Leviticus 11-12, there is a great emphasis on the need for
cleansing. In Christ, we have been cleansed. We exalt Him because He has
lifted us out of the darkness of our sin. The Psalmist says, “O Lord,
You brought me up from the grave” (Psalm 30:3). Jesus speaks of “the resurrection” (Mark 12:23).
He is looking beyond His resurrection. He is speaking of our
resurrection. We will be raised in Him. We will be raised to eternal
life.
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.
