Holiness
and honesty are two qualities which are to characterize the life of the
Christian. The ‘laws’ in Deuteronomy stress the importance of holiness.
Jesus, in His parable of the shrewd manager, emphasizes the importance
of honesty – “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be
trusted with much” (Luke 16:10).
We are not to put on a facade of holiness. We are to be honest in our
seeking holiness. If we despise the way of honesty and holiness, we will
go the way of folly against which we are warned in Proverbs 9:13-18.
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.
