“ Timing, Responsibility, & Distress! ” Dr Davis gives us three observations about these two stories and he admonishes us to take home lessons from each.
First, let's observe the timing of God's providence. There are no coincidences: God works things in our history to our benefit. (Davis relates a bicycle accident from his youth to illustrate the point!) Give thanks to God for his timing.
Second, we have a responsibility to react rightly to the testimony about God. The king of Israel learned about Yahweh's work through Elisha. Did he respond appropriately? We know of the saving work of Jesus Christ--do we respond appropriately?
Finally, notice the sad distress of God's judgement. Elisha was distressed that God's righteous judgement at the hand of the pagan Hazael would result in the death of many Israelites. Jesus, too, wept at the coming judgement of Jerusalem. Our God does not take joy in the justice He commands--and so we must have a similar posture.
Dr. Davis gives us much to consider about our Creator in these 48 minutes. What a blessing.
