Ever felt like you’ve got no way out? Your problem is 100% clear, you just see nothing for it. Your problem looks bigger than your hope.
Cancer can do that to you. Been there, done that. But God fights for His children - I promise.
Back in the Old Testament, one hombre was there too. Dude was the prophet Elisha’s sidekick. He woke up one morning and his eyes popped. He saw a massive enemy army at the wall. They were surrounded. Outnumbered. Hopeless.
Sidekick did what most would do: He freaked out.
But it didn’t bother Elisha. He knew what’s what. He could see what his sidekick couldn’t - that God’s angel armies had already showed up in force.
“O Lord, open his eyes and let him see,” Elisha prayed.
The sidekick then saw what God was really doing. The hills were teaming with “horses and chariots of fire.” God was in the fight. Big time.
The Enemy was the one in trouble. Like the sidekick, we just sometimes lack the clarity to see it. It might be for just a moment, but the Enemy works hard to find that one moment.
Thank God for the men and women who’ve held our family up in prayer during this trial. They are our Elisha(s).
God will prevail anytime, anyplace. Expect it.
2 Kings 6:8-23
