“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”

Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
2 Kings 4:29 — KJV
Gird up thy loins. Elisha knew that the woman was exhausted with her hurried journey, and that the way back would be all the more difficult and trying. He did not shun the journey himself, but as soon as he knew that the child was dead, he dispatched his servant with instructions as to his course of action.
Take my staff. The staff was the badge of Elisha’s prophetic office, and like Moses’ rod (Ex. 4:17; Ex. 17:5, 9; Num. 20:8, 9), was the symbol of the power of God wherewith he would perform miracles in the name of the Lord.
Salute him not. Not that the servant should be brusque or discourteous, but that he was to lose no time on the way. Salutations in the East are long and ceremonious, and politeness takes time.
