Kings 6:8-18
TOPIC: LOCATING
GOD AMIDST THE CONFUSION OF INSECURITY
There is hardly any
military threat that is as traumatic as being attacked by a stronger power.
This was the situation with God's people. Israel's situation got so bad that
even Prophet Elisha's servant also became jittery.
Under the circumstances,
it would have been easier to lose hope and confidence in the God of Israel. It
would also have been better to surrender to the Syrians and become their
slaves. How tragic!
In the midst of this
commotion, however, Elisha connected with God and found solace in Him. The
prophet prayed two prayers. God answered both prayers and eyes were opened,
eyes were closed or blinded.
Today, you wake up almost
on daily basis hearing frightening news of attacks, killings and the
destruction of property. Like in the case of Israel, the attackers are known,
even though they are preferably said to be unknown, for political reasons.
There is a need to locate
God prayerfully and strategically in this unending confusion.
QUESTION:
Have
your eyes been opened to what is possible?
PRAYER:
God
of war, open my eyes to see that those who are with us are more than those who
are with them. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
