2 Kings 6:8-23 The king of Aram was at war with the kingdom of Israel.
He kept trying to set up ambushes to get Israel’s trade caravans.
But the prophet Elisha kept telling the king of Israel all about the ambushes, so the king of Israel could avoid them.
This made the king of Aram really mad.
He asked “Who is the spy?”
but his commanders said, no this is Elisha’s work,
He tells his king the very words you say in private.
So the king of Aram, said
Find out where he lives so we can get him!
They found out he was living in Dothan and at night they surrounded that town.
In the morning Elisha’s servant woke up and saw the army around them and he was scared!
But God had sent his own army of angels too!
Elisha knew they were there, but his servant could not see them.
Elisha prayed and God opened his servants eyes and there was an even bigger army of angles surrounding Aram’s army.
When they attached, they didn’t kill anyone!
But they made them blind.
The blind solders were not very dangerous,
and Elisha had them brought together,
Elisha marched them down the road to the capital city of Samaria it was about 10 miles away.
In the midst of that great big city, Elisha prayed, and God gave the enemy solders back their sight.
The king of Israel said, said to Elisha,
Shall I kill them?
But God didn’t want them killed.
God said thru the prophet Elisha, feed them and send them home.
So that is what they did.
If you were the king of Aram, and your whole army was struck blind,
gathered together, marched down the road and but in the middle of a big city before receiving their sight back
then fed and released
Would you think twice about starting a fight with that nation again?
I would!
And for a while that is exactly what the king of Aram, did.
He didn’t mess with them for a while.
When life looks scary to you,
I want you to remember this story and ask
not only for God’s help in prayer but also
for God to show you what he is doing.
You might be surprised at the help God is sending you.
Let’s pray.
A theme of Death
In the last week or so, death seems to have come up a lot in my life.
A man in despair had thoughts about death.
A prayer request involved a tragic young death
A women lost her baby brother in a motorcycle accident and
Even one of the Clothing Closet volunteers had passed away.
I thought,
I’m surveying the Psalms now,
what Psalms bring comfort to those in hard hard times,
and the 23rd Psalm came to mind.
Let’s read that little Psalm together, than talk about it.
Please stand and read with me
Those first 3 verse tell us about God and his actions toward us
He is
He is my shepherd
He make me lie down
He Leads me
He refreshes me.
He, God does a lot of things for me
And if He is your shepherd too,
God does the same kind of things for you.
What does a shepherd do?
He leads the sheep
and they follow him.
Jesus said
The good shepherd lives with the sheep
He gives them what they need, not always what they want
like warming pills
The Good shepherd protects the sheep as Jesus says
Sometimes a shepherd has been known to injure a sheep that strays too often and then
nurse it back to health.
We could also say, God is my coach, God is my personal trainer
because He want’s to make positive change in our lives
that we wouldn’t or couldn’t make on our own,
Why make the changes,
so we live the best life we can now and enjoy life in Him all the more.
I lack nothing
I may want many things, but when it comes to what I really need
I’m not wanting
God takes care of my needs.
He makes me lie down
Do you remember the 4th commandment
God knows the way we were made.
He knows we need a sabbath, he commands it and
if we just burn the candle at both ends,
we usually get a time out from
illness or
injury.
So it’s no wonder that David said about God
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
Green pastures, that is a good restful place.
He leads me beside still waters.
Growing up, we went water skiing every summer.
Almost always
we were on a reservoir not a flowing section of river,
WHY?
Because a flowing river is inherently more dangerous than a reservoir.
Working at Village Missions,
the office hears about the prayer requests and
sometimes tragedies from 180 or so churches.
I remember the desperate prayer request that came in for a family who lost their child in a raging river.
