There
is real urgency about Daniel's prayer: "O Lord, look with favour on
Your desolate sanctuary ... O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord,
hear and act!" (Daniel 9:17,19). We do need to pray with urgency. There
are many who seek to lead us astray (1 John 3:7) - "Bloodthirsty men
hate a man of integrity and seek to kill the upright" (Proverbs 29:10).
Who can help us in this situation? - Only the Lord: "The reason the Son
of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work" (1 John 3:8). He alone
will give us strength to "continue in Him, so that when He appears we
may be confident and unashamed before Him at His Coming" (1 John 2:28).
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.
