Israel’s
victory over the heathen nations was given to them by the Lord. The
spiritual dimension in this military situation must not be overlooked,
if we are to learn the lessons God is teaching us from His Word. God has
much to teach us from His Word. Those who listen to Him will always
have this testimony: “Were not our hearts burning within us while He
talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us” (Luke 24:32).
Why does the Lord’s Word burn in our hearts? - so that we might pray
to the Lord, “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast
spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10).
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.
