In Ezekiel, the priests are described in great detail. In 1 Peter 2:5,
the Lord’s people are described as “a holy priesthood, offering
spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” This
description continues in 1 Peter 2:9
- “a royal priesthood ... a people belonging to God. To His people,
God gives this call - “Declare the praises of Him who called you out of
darkness into His wonderful light.” To be “a holy priesthood ... a
royal priesthood” is not only privilege. It is also responsibility.
Concerning this privilege and responsibility, the Psalmist writes, “May
Your priests be clothed with righteousness; may Your saints sing for
joy ... I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall
ever sing for joy” (Psalm 132:9,16).
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.
