“And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.” - 2 Kings 6v16
The king of Syria was going to make war on Israel. The prophet Elisha warned the king and this made the Syrian king angry. In response, the Syrian king sent out a great army to capture Elisha. When Elisha’s servant looked out the window he saw this mighty army and was petrified! “Elisha, they have us surrounded!”
Elisha said something that must have caused the servant to think he was crazy. “There are more with us than there are with them.” Surely this made no sense to the servant. He saw the “reality” of the situation around him. Elisha than prayed that the servant could see the spiritual aspect of the battle and when he did he saw the great spiritual army that was around him.
Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. The Lord is able to save by many or by few. Nothing is impossible with God. Look not on the things that are see, but the things that are not seen. Walk by faith not by sight. Those that are with us are more than those that are against us.
