“Here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His commandments” (Ecclesiastes 12:13).
There are many matters which are secondary. Living in accordance with
the Gospel is the all-important thing: “We put up with anything rather
than hinder the Gospel of Christ” (1 Corinthians 9:12). “For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; He is to be feared above all gods” (Psalm 96:4).
The fear of the Lord is directly related to worshipping Him. To fear
the Lord is not to cower away from Him. It is to come to Him in worship.
Together with the fear of the Lord, there is rejoicing in Him (Psalm 96:11).
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.
