Sadly,
it is possible to be living in the promised land yet living in
disobedience and thus losing out on the promised blessing. The Pharisee,
in Jesus’ parable, lived and worshipped within the tradition which
remembered God’s mighty act of redemption. Nevertheless, his heart was
far from God. He considered himself superior, He was not justified, and
he would not be exalted (glorified). Those who are justified, who will
be glorified, rejoice in the Lord with much gladness: “Sing praises to
God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises” (Psalm 47:6).
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.
