The
detailed instructions given in the early chapters of Numbers arise out
of Moses’ communion with God – “the Lord talked with Moses on Mount
Sinai” (Numbers 3:1). God speaks to us, and we – in response to His Word – speak to Him. ‘Mary’s song’, in Luke 1:46-55,
is a great example of a soul, touched by the Lord, responding to Him in
worship: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my
Saviour” (Luke 1:46-47). Mary echoes the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 34:1 – “I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.”
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.
