Alas, my master! How shall we do? 2 Kings 6:15
This was the cry of Elisha’s servant when it was obvious that he was surrounded by the forces of the King of Syria. Elisha’s reply was so significant, “Fear not, for they that be with us are more than they that be with them” (6:16). Unseen heavenly forces surrounded the enemy and the young man was given insight to see them. Remember the words of the Saviour, “Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:23). We are safe and secure as well. —Brian Russell
Ye fearful saints fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread,
Are big with mercy and shall break,
In blessings on your head. —William Cowper
