Use Heaven's Resources!
"So Elisha answered, “Do not fear,
for those who are with us are more
than those who are with them.”
2 Kings 6: 16
Only heaven will reveal the times in our life when God protected us
without our even being aware that we were in danger. As like when
Moses led the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt and took them deep into
the Sinai desert instead of directly to the Promised Land of Canaan.
Exodus 13:17-18 says he led them that way so they wouldn’t
encounter the ferocious Philistines, be defeated in battle, and
return to Egypt. We wonder if they ever realized just how many
times God protected them.
When the Syrian army was poised to attack Israel, Elisha’s servant
was concerned. When he asked the prophet what they should do,
Elisha told him that there was an army larger than the Syrian
army on their side.
And God opened the servant’s eyes to see the hills filled with
horses and fiery chariots. God’s heavenly, angelic forces were
adequate to keep Israel safe from harm. It’s easy to forget that
God’s resources are greater than this world’s.
If you're facing a situation today in which you feel
outnumbered or under-resourced, don’t despair.
Heaven’s resources are yours, visible or not.
"Did you never let go to God for safeguard,
driven by outward Storms, and there find
unexpected fruit?"
