More are with you than you know...

Never feel like you are alone. You may think that no one but you is standing up for what is right. Elisha's servant felt the same way. Elisha however taught him a lesson.

2 Kings
15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, a host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
These men were not there to buy them lunch. They were there to take Elisha prison because he seemed to know all the plans of war of their king,

I am sure that the servant looked up and counted fifty or sixty men. Then he looked at Elisha and himself and counted, one, two.

17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

So often we only look at the natural. Elisha looked at the supernatural and saw that God was with him. We need to learn to do the same as well. How often are our angels about to take care of our problem and we give up on them? Let us learn to stop doing this.
