2 Kings 6:15-17

Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out,
behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city.
And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”

So he answered,
“Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

Then Elisha prayed and said, “O LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.”
And the LORD opened the servant’s eyes and he saw;
and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

The attending servant to Elisha arose early in the morning and what did he see?
An army of horses and chariots circling the city.

His reaction?
What we would expect.
He cried to Elisha…”what shall we do?”

Do you not love Elisha’s response?
“Do not fear…”

How could he say that?
Well, the balance of the sentence explains.
“…for those who are with use are more than those who are with them.”

The servant did not know what Elisha knew.
The servant did not see what Elisha saw.

Elisha prayed to the Lord.
Elisha asked that his servants eyes would be open so that he could see.

The Lord did so.

What did he see?
A mountain full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

The Lord allowed the servant to see into the unseen realm.
The Lord allowed the servant to see where the true battle rages.

That is our prayer today for all of us.
May we have eyes to see.
May we know.

Eph 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers,
against the powers,
against the world forces of this darkness,
against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Those that were with us are more than those against us.

Who is “with us”.
We usually think of “angels” and the such.
True.

Forget not.

As true Believers, we have the Most High dwelling with us.
The very Presence and Power of God.
Fear not.

1 Jo 4:4
You are from God, little children, and have overcome them;
because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
