“Visions
of God” - This is what we have in Ezekiel. These visions are not easy
to understand. Their form emphasizes that God is beyond our
understanding. We see the glory of God, and we fall before Him in
worship (Ezekiel 3:23).
We are not, however, to content ourselves with seeing the glory of God
as we worship Him. We are to share the glory of God as we witness for
Him (Ezekiel 3:27).
As we consider this high calling - to worship the Lord and to be His
witnesses, we become conscious of our weakness. This is where Jesus
helps us. He is able “to sympathize with our weaknesses.” Through Him,
“we ... receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (Hebrews 4:15-16). Discovering the mercy and grace of God in Christ, we say to God, in worship, “Your compassion is great, O Lord” (Psalm 119:156).
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.
