“No
sooner had Gideon died than the Israelites again prostituted themselves
to the Baals” (Judges 8:33). “John was a lamp that burned and gave
light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light” (John 5:35) – “For a
time”, but note their response to Jesus -”I have come in My Father’s
name, and you do not accept Me” (John 5:43). “The Lord detests those
whose hearts are perverse, but He delights in those whose ways are
blameless” (Proverbs 11:20). How important it is not to settle for a
superficial religion, which can be easily overthrown when Satan comes in
with an unbelieving alternative which does not honour the Lord Jesus
Christ. True faith honours Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.
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.
