“Alas! because of all the wicked and detestable practices of the house of Israel, for they will fall by the sword, famine and plague” (Ezekiel 6:11). Alongside these words concerning Israel’s sin and fall, we place the solemn words of Hebrews 6:4-6,
words which warn us of the danger of falling away, stressing the
importance of pressing on in the “things that accompany salvation” (Hebrews 6:9). “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth” (Proverbs 27:1).
We must not take anything for granted. Day-by-day, we are dependent on
the mercy and grace of God. Without His mercy and grace, we will fall.
Through His mercy and grace, we will stand.
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.
