26 But Elisha said to him, “Was not my spirit with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to take money or to accept clothes—or olive groves and vineyards, or flocks and herds, or male and female slaves?
Seems pretty simple, don't take credit or payment for work God has done. It seems ridiculous, but then again God has given me a great many blessings that I benefit from. I don't think I try to outwardly deceive anyone to get benefit in this case but at the same time do I recognize myself or show others that I know from where my bread is buttered?
just a thought to be careful not to get on my high horse to judge the actions of a deceiver such as Gehzi.

It's scary how quickly I start thinking that my position/status/situation is a result of my own doing....and there-fore I deserve something because of it. It is usually a quick fleeting thought, that I don't act on. But, it still glances through my mind. We humans are so weak......especially this one.
