The Lord calls us back from our backsliding: “Return, faithless people; I will cure you of backsliding” (Jeremiah 3:22).
The returning people say, “Yes, we will come to You, for You are the
Lord our God ... surely in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel” (Jeremiah 3:22-23).
As we return to the Lord, He gives us this calling: “Become blameless
and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved
generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold
out the Word of life” (Philippians 2:15-16).
To those who return to the Lord and seek to live as His holy people,
the Lord gives His promise of blessing - “The Lord remembers us and will
bless us ... He will bless those who fear the Lord - small and great
alike” (Psalm 115:12-13).
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.
