TEXT: 2 Kings 6:16(NIV)
“Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
THE WORD:
Everyone has times when they feel overwhelmed or “outnumbered” by the things that are coming against them. You may have heard the saying, “When it rains, it pours.” For example, just about the time the air conditioner needs repair in your house, the transmission goes out in your car. It seems like one thing happens after another.
It may feel as if all the forces of darkness are coming against you. When it feels as though you’re far behind, outnumbered, outsized and outclassed, instead of being discouraged, have a new perspective and stand strong. The Scripture promises that with God on your side, you have all the resources you need to have complete victory.
You are never outnumbered because the Greater One lives in you. It’s like when you’re expecting someone for dinner; you don’t wait until they show up before you decide to start cooking. Most likely you start early in the day. You make sure the house is clean, you go to the grocery store, and maybe buy some flowers for the table. You make preparations because you’re expecting someone.
Well, that’s the attitude we need to have while we’re waiting for God’s promises to come to pass. As you stand strong in Him by putting actions behind your prayers, your faith comes alive and opens the door for God to move mightily on your behalf.
PRAYER:
Father, thank You for Your faithfulness to me. Thank You for Your peace even in the midst of the storms of life. I know that You are with me, and I can stand strong because You will lead me into victory all the days of my life in Jesus’ Name. Amen
