2 Kings 14:7-14; 2 Chronicles 25:11-24; 2 Kings 5:1-7:2

Angels are watching over me! 

The king of Aram sends his army to capture Elisha. (2 Kings 6:13-17) Unafraid, Elisha observes the armed men that surround the city. When his frightened servant asks, "Oh, my lord, what shall we do?" is master replies, "Don't be afraid. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."

Invisible angelic warriors blanket the whole region. Chariots of fire encircle the prophet. Elisha senses the presence of God and hosts of spiritual beings. His servant is unable to see this until Elisha asks the Lord to reveal the ghostly defenders.

God stations guardian angels among God's people. I know the truth in my thinking; but at times I long for a view of "those who are with us." I want to see as clearly as Elisha. I want to know as certainly as his servant.
