Don’t Be Afraid!
For There Are More
On Our Side Than On Theirs!
Scripture
14 So one night the king of Aram sent a great army with many chariots and horses to surround the city.
15 When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. “Oh, sir, what will we do now?” the young man cried to Elisha.
16 “Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him.
“For there are more on our side than on theirs!”
17 Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!”
The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.
Observation
Ever feel like everybody is against you?
Ever feel overwhelmed by the odds that are stacked up against you?
Elisha’s servant looked and saw the enemy. He saw troops, horses, and chariots everywhere and he began to panic!
Then Elisha asked God to open up his servant’s spiritual eyes so that he could really see the situation and he saw the hillside filled with God’s army - horses and chariots of fire!
Maybe we need to see our bad situation from an Elisha’s perspective!
If you and I are King’s kids then the same Owner of those chariots of fire that protected Elisha and his servant surrounds and protects us too!
So lets not be afraid! “For there are more on our side than on theirs!”
Application
Prayer
God, You are my refuge and strength. You are always ready to help in times of trouble. So I will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is my fortress.
Psalm 46:1-3,11 {Personalized}
