The
promises of God are given in Ezekiel 16 - “I will remember the
covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will
establish an everlasting covenant with you ... So I will establish My
covenant with you, and you will know that I am the Lord” (Ezekiel 16:60,62).
These promises are fulfilled in “Christ ... the Mediator of a new
covenant.” Through Him, we “receive the promised eternal inheritance.”
Through His death “as a ransom”, we are “set ... free from the sins
committed under the first covenant” (Hebrews 9:15). “Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger” (Proverbs 27:13)
- Through faith in Christ, we receive the garment of His perfect
righteousness. Trusting in Him, we are no longer strangers to God. We
are secure in His salvation.
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.
