2 Kings 6:16 (NLT): “’Don’t be afraid,’ the prophet answered. ‘Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.’”
The Arameans were at war with the children of Israel. Each time they set up a plan to attack, however, the Lord would reveal the plan to Elisha and he would go and warn the king of Israel. The king of Aram
began to suspect that he had a traitor in his troops. His men told him they were not traitors, but a certain prophet of God named Elisha was the one telling Israel all of their battle plans. The king of Aram sent his soldiers to capture the prophet. On that day, Elisha’s servant looked out of the window and saw that their house was surrounded by the Aramean army. He was afraid. Elisha calmed his servant and asked God to open the eyes of the young man, and God did. When the servant looked out of the window again, he saw that the Aramean army was surrounded by an army of angels on horses and flaming chariots!
The Bible tells us that God commands His angels to watch over His children (Psalm 91:11). The enemy will try to send his minions to capture us, but we have nothing to fear. We are never left to defend ourselves. Our God, who is always watching over us, has His mighty Army in place to fight for us. The next time you find yourself afraid, remind yourself that you are surrounded by the Army of the Lord (Psalm 139:5)!
God will give His angels charge over you today!
