2 Kings 6:8-23

Chariots of fire

In a dramatic episode from the life of Elisha, God’s people appear surrounded and helpless before their enemies. Yet this ‘Oscar-worthy’ story shows that God’s word cannot be stopped. As God opens eyes, protects his prophet, and even shows mercy to his enemies, we see that nothing can stand against his purposes. This passage calls us to trust God’s power, sovereignty, and grace even when his people seem outnumbered or afraid.
