I had the opportunity, while at work, to catch up on all my reading. I had gotten behind on the Psalms to have read. I spent 20 minutes reading these passages.
The words of Elisha in 2 Kings 6:16 should be the words by which we, as Christians, live. “Don’t be afraid – those who are with us outnumber those who are with them!” Then Elisha prayed and his servant was able to see the “great cloud of witnesses” that surrounded the army surrounding the city. Surely Elijah passed on to his student the lessons he had learned from his fear of Jezebel; The God of Israel is greater than any threat and anyone who threatens a man of God. Elisha put the lesson into practice and remained calm as he saw the army surrounding his city. Either God had told him ahead of time, or Elisha expected God to deliver him.
I also enjoy reading Psalm 87 and the promise of hope for those born in Zion; which applies equally to the spiritual Zion; the church.
