The people of Israel had been “blessed” by the Lord (Numbers 22:12). Jesus also speaks of the way of blessing (Luke 6:20-22). Psalm 37:2 tells us that “those the Lord blesses will inherit the land.” Psalm 37:25-26
reminds us of how much blessing we have received from the Lord: “I have
never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging for bread.
They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be
blessed.” Here’s something we must never forget: “It is more blessed to
give than to receive.”
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.
