The Word of God is to be preached, even if it is a difficult message. In face of the judgment pronounced upon Babylon, God says to His messengers, “When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud” (Jeremiah 51:61).
Paul calls on Timothy to “preach the Word” - “In the presence of God
and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view
of His appearing and His Kingdom, I give you this charge” (2 Timothy 4:1-2). Those who truly love the Lord’s Word and meditate on it all day long (Psalm 119:97)
will find it their joyful privilege and their solemn responsibility to
speak His Word; “How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than
honey to my mouth” (Psalm 119:103).
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.
