The
concluding message, preached by Joshua, is a call for the people to
exalt the Lord. They make a definite and public commitment to the Lord.
The Christ-centredness of real commitment to the Lord is summed up in
the words of John the Baptist: “He must become greater; I must become
less” (John 3:30). We must confess Christ and honour Him – “The One who comes from heaven is above all” (John 3:31). We
must listen to what He says to us – “The One whom God has sent speaks
the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit” (John 3:34).
It will not be easy to live a life of true commitment to Christ.
Nevertheless, we have God’s promise: “Cast your cares on the Lord and He
will sustain you” (Psalm 55:22).
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.
