Chapter 312 of 1163

2 KINGS 6

Doing the impossible (1–7). All that we have is “borrowed,” loaned to us by the Lord to get His work done (John 3:27). You can lose your cutting edge even while serving the Lord. But be honest about it, stop trying to chop without an ax head, and ask the Lord for help in recovering it. He alone can do the impossible if you trust Him.

Knowing the unknowable (8–12). Because Elisha knew what the enemy would do, Israel had the opportunity to escape surprise attacks. If you study God’s Word, you can know the strategy of Satan and be able to defeat him.

Seeing the invisible (13–17). Many times we are afraid of the enemy because we walk by sight and not by faith. If God and His hosts are for us, who can be against us?

Accomplishing the unthinkable (18–23). Knowing that Elisha was his real enemy, the king of Syria tried to capture the prophet. But Elisha captured them, and he did it with prayer and kindness (Rom. 12:19–21; 2 Cor. 10:3–6). In the East, eating together is equivalent to making a covenant, so those soldiers could never attack Israel again.
