Our
spiritual warfare is both outward and inward. We have enemies coming
at us from without and from within. Concerning the enemies from
without, God says, “This people will fight against you but will not
overcome you, for I am with you to rescue and save you ... I will save
you from the hands of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the
cruel” (Jeremiah 15:20-21). Concerning the enemies from within, God says, “Put to death ... whatever belongs to your earthly nature” (Colossians 3:5). We are not to “fret because of evil men” (Proverbs 24:19). We are to “fear the Lord” (Proverbs 24:21).
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.
