Isaiah 28:29 contains a great description of God - “The Lord Almighty, wonderful in counsel and magnificent in wisdom.” Paul speaks, in 2 Corinthians 12:7,
of “surpassingly great revelations.” Whenever God reveals an
increased measure of His wonderful counsel and magnificent wisdom, He
wants us to remain humble, resting only in His grace and power (2 Corinthians 12:9)
and not in any supposed achievement or attainment of our own. He wants
us always to say, from the heart, “Praise be to the Lord” (Psalm 106:48).
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.
