Numbers 31:22-24
emphasizes the importance of cleansing. The healing of the demon-possessed man, in Luke 8, emphasizes the power of Christ to
cleanse even the most sinful of people. To be cleansed from sin involves
an act of the will on our part - “I will watch my ways and keep my
tongue from sin” (Psalm 39:1).
The Psalmist does not only speak of being kept from sin. He also speaks
about being on fire for the Lord: “My heart grew hot within me; and as I
meditated, the fire burned, then I spoke with my tongue” (Psalm 39:3).
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.
