“O land, land, land, hear the Word of the Lord” (Jeremiah 22:29).
When we truly hear the Word of the Lord with attentive hearts, there
will be an “increase and overflow” of “love” and a strengthening of
holiness (1 Thessalonians 3:12-13). This is the teaching of Psalm 119:9
- “How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to Your
Word.” This is why we hear the Word of the Lord - so that we might learn
to do the will of the Lord: “I have hidden Your Word in my heart that I
might not sin against You” (Psalm 119:11).
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.
