They That Be With Us...

Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. (2 Kings 6:16)

You've seen the famous photograph of then president John F. Kennedy, standing in the Oval Office with his back to the camera, leaning over the desk. As I recall, the caption of the photograph was "The Loneliest Job In The World."

As a Christian, we are never alone, no matter how lonely we may feel, or how much the problems and burdens of life may press in.

Elisha, that great Old Testament prophet showed this to his servant Gehazi in dramatic fashion one day. The enemies of God had encircled Elisha and Gehazi, intending to capture them and drag them away. Gehazi was alarmed and cried out to Elisha in fear. But Elisha prayed that God would open the eyes of Gehazi, and when He did, Gehazi saw that the angels of God were surrounding the enemies of God.

A Christian is never alone. A Christian is never left without resources. A Christian is never without the protection of the armies of God.

Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. (2 Kings 6:16)
