The
people of God lived in a situation where there was much idolatry. For
them, there could be no compromise. We are to be watchful as the Lord’s
Return draws near. We dare not live as the world does. We are to live in
the Lord’s way. In the midst of “an ungodly nation”, we are to pray,
“Send forth Your light and Your truth, let them guide me; let them bring
me to Your holy mountain, to the place where You dwell” (Psalm 43:3).
As we look at this “ungodly nation”, it is easy to become “downcast.”
We must learn to say to ourselves, “Put your hope in God, for I will yet
praise Him, my Saviour and my God” (Psalm 43:5).
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.
