Human
sin and divine judgment, described in such detail in these chapters of
Ezekiel - this is the backcloth against which we are called to go on
with the Lord: “If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have
received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but
only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will
consume the enemies of God” (Hebrews 10:26-27).
In the face of our sin and God’s judgment, “our eyes look to the Lord
our God, till He shows us His mercy.” We pray, “Have mercy on us, O
Lord, have mercy on us” (Psalm 123:3).
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.
