“The holy seed will be the stump in the land” (Isaiah 6:13).
God preserves the faithful remnant, the remnant of faith. “If you do
not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all”(Isaiah 7:9). What or who can keep us firm in the faith? - “Immanuel (God with us)” (Isaiah 7:14). In the face of much opposition, we could easily become discouraged, “But God ... comforts the downcast” (2 Corinthians 7:6). To those who turn to Him, God brings His comfort. To those who turn from Him, He sends His judgment (Psalm 105:28-36).
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.
