“The Lord is with me like a mighty warrior; so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail” (Jeremiah 20:11).
This is a tremendous Word of encouragement when the battle is at its
fiercest. In this battle, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit (1 Thessalonians 1:5),
empowered to speak for the Lord and to live for Him. He gives us the
strength to battle for the glory of God, “not trying to please men but
God ... not looking for praise from men” (1 Thessalonians 1:4,6).
This is the way of blessing - the way of doing what God wants us to do
- “blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to
the law of the Lord” (Psalm 119:1).
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.
