“I am the Lord, and there is no other” - This truth is repeated several times over in this part of Israel (Isaiah 48:5-6,14,18,21-22; Isaiah 46:9).
The contrast, in Isaiah, is between God and the gods. The contrast, in
Galatians, is between Christ’s salvation and other ways of salvation (Galatians 4:25-26; Galatians 5:1).
There are always contrasts between what is godly and what is ungodly,
what is Christ-centred and what denies Christ. In the face of such
conflict, we have God’s own promise: “With God we shall gain the
victory, and He will trample down our enemies” (Psalm 108:13).
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.
