Isaiah 35:8 speaks of “the Way of Holiness.” Isaiah 35:9
stresses that “only the redeemed will walk there.” This is also the
teaching of Paul in Galatians. We must be redeemed by the Lord if we are
to walk in the Way of Holiness. Any attempt yo walk in the Way of
Holiness as a means of earning salvation is “ a different gospel - which
is really no gospel at all”, a perversion of the Gospel of Christ (Galatians 1:6-7).
Only God - and not ourselves - can break the chains of sin. “Let them
give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds
for men, for He breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of
iron” (Psalm 107:15-16).
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.
