This account of Elisha and his servant facing the Syrian army is so inspiring. The Bible says the king of Syria sent horses, and chariots, and a great host by night and surrounded the city (2 Kings 6:14). They came for Elisha, the Man of God. But Elisha understood the Word of God, and therefore he was unperturbed. He knew that there were more angels with them than any force that could be with the Syrians, whether spiritually or physically.
You must come to this understanding and consciousness that those for you are more and greater than those against you. As God’s child, you’re never alone. Hebrews 1:14 says God sent His angels to serve you. You’re surrounded by angels, who, according to the Bible, have been given charge over you, to keep you, that is, protect you in all your ways (Psalm 91:11). God’s mighty hand of protection is upon your life; hence it doesn’t matter who or what comes against you, you’re never disadvantaged.
1 John 4:4 says “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” You’ve already overcome the adversary. Be conscious of this truth today and always. Live with the realisation that the Lord, with the innumerable company of angels, is with you, and for you. Therefore, nothing can successfully stand against you.
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for your presence with me, and the confident assurance that nothing can successfully stand against me. I live with the consciousness of your indwelling and abiding presence today, declaring that I’m a victor in Christ Jesus. Amen.
