Those who are with us more than those who are with them

"So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them" 2 Kings 6:16. 

God's people may sometimes feel surrounded by the problems that seem to be overwhelming. When you look around what's happening today, you might think that the evil one has more weapons at his disposal directed at us. I mean, lots of diseases, viruses, lies, fears, our own weak human nature, and many more things and situations (broken relationships, loss of job, loss of loved ones, addictions) that he can use against us. 

Did God leave us alone in this world to fight against the hordes of the enemy? No. He has an army of angels fighting for us (Psalms 91:11). Jesus intercedes for us as daily (Romans 8:34), the Holy Spirit teaches us, guides, prays with us (Romans 8:26, John 14:26), and God the Father justifies us (Romans 8:33). He has given us tools like prayer, the word of God (the sword of the Spirit), and all the armor (Ephesians 6:11) to fight against any power, does not matter how strong and win. What enemy can defeat you?

There are more with us. You are not alone. Be strong.
