Elisha's Servant only looked at what was before him, the vast army of King Aram the multitude of horses, chariots and men preparing to engage the city what seem to him to be a hopeless cause much in comen with how we see our problems/troubles and circumstances in our life times today. we get struck with fear, paralized for a lack of trust, faith and spirit. the differance was that Elisha knew that his God was a mighty warrior commander of the host, mighty in battle in short he walked by faith and walked with his God not by sight. Fear is a very strong weapon that the enemy use's in contending with christian and men a like only to stress, strike fear, and throw off balance. It take's prayer to open closed eyes and a warfare faith to overcome our fears stand asured that He that is with us is greater than he that is in this world.Walk with God.
