When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. "Oh, my lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked.
"Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:15-18
Every so often in the Bible we get a glimpse at what is happening in the unseen world. This is one such passage. In it we get insight into the spiritual realm. We don’t know how or when or who, but we do know the unseen world exists.
We are in a spiritual war. The enemy of our souls wants to destroy us. He and his minions want to pervert and taint everything that is good and right. He wants to discourage and humiliate and condemn. His goal is to tear us down. And he has nearly unlimited resources to do it.
But, fortunately, the God who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world. We often think that Satan is equal to God in strength and power. Not even close. That’s the deception that Satan wants us to believe! The next time you are under attack by the Enemy, call out loudly to God. Call out until you are rescued.
Thanks for the daily devotional!
You’re welcome.
Thanks for that bit of encouragement this morning.
