Who's Got Your Back

2nd Kings 6:16~ He said, "Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."


Have you ever felt alone or outnumbered? I have never been in combat and I give credit to those who have. I have felt alone in certain circumstances but never because someone was going to get me. I have felt outnumbered but that would be just in a basketball game or soccer game but never in battle. Here Elisha and his servant are being surrounded by the ruthless Syrian army. But Elisha tells his servant do not be afraid, why, because there was a better, more powerful army that was surrounding them. It was God's army. And they were ready to protect Elisha and his servant.

It is the spiritual fight that we really should be concerned about and not necissarily the physical. Ephesians 6:12 tells us, "For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms." This is what will really drag us down.

There is a spiritual battle going on and we may not see it but it is over our soul. But the crazy thing is that I know I was purchased at a high price and no matter how crazy the battle goes, I am never alone or outnumbered because of what Jesus did for me on the cross. With this we know that we can face those spiritual oppositions only through Christ. He has my back, and his word tells me that He will never leave me nor forsake me. Have comfort in Christ even through those tuff time spiritually. Have comfort to know that you were bought at a price that you can never repay or need to for that matter.
