Short Meditations on Elisha

The value of this little book will be found not by a mere rapid reading, but by “meditation” on the subjects of which it treats. The man of the world is imbued with “the spirit of the world,” by which he knows, enters into, and loves the things of the world. But the children of God “have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we might know the things which are freely given to us of God” (1 Cor. 2:12). Meditation in God’s precious Word leads to the knowledge, not of truth only, but of God; and this is our peace, and security, and power while we pass as pilgrims through the world. To this end, we trust, this little book will be a help.
