F.B. Meyer emphasizes the call to live as true 'men of God,' reflecting God's holiness and grace in our lives, as exemplified by Elijah and Elisha. He urges believers to be filled with a passion for God's glory, to persevere in their spiritual journey, and to trust in God's unseen work even when signs are lacking. Meyer also highlights the importance of bringing our needs to God and the necessity of being vessels ready to receive His blessings. He warns against the dangers of complacency and the need for continual spiritual renewal, encouraging a life of prayer, consecration, and active faith.

F.B. Meyer reflects on the profound compassion of Elisha, who wept for the impending suffering that Hazael would bring upon Israel. Despite his strength and ability to influence kingdoms, Elisha's tender heart was moved by the plight of his people, reminding us that true strength is often accompanied by deep empathy. Meyer emphasizes that as we grow closer to God, our hearts should break for the brokenness in the world, urging us to weep for the lost and the suffering. He draws parallels to Jesus, who also wept over Jerusalem, and calls for believers to embody this compassion in their lives. The sermon encourages nurturing the next generation to prevent future despair, highlighting the importance of teaching love and self-control from an early age.
