No matter who I speak with, the sentiments are the same. We’ve never seen anything like this before.

It just seems as if we are being bombarded with bad news that only seems to get worse.

Many are wrestling with anxiety and fear. Many are wrestling with feeling alone and helpless. I’m sure some have even dipped down into the ranks of feeling hopeless.

In 2 Kings 6:8-23 is a great story about Elisha, his servant and the army of Aram. Take a moment to read it.

I love the part where Elisha’s servant sees the enemy army and panics. He feels helpless and hopeless. But Elisha prays, asks God to open his servant’s eyes into the spirit realm, which God does.

The servant looked up and saw that the army of heaven outnumbered the army of Aram. Then God struck the enemy army with blindness and Elisha and his servant led the entire army into the city of the King. Just the two of them.

I wish we could see into the heavens today. We’d see a similar picture. The army of heaven is armed, ready for action on our behalf. The army of heaven will help bring about a great victory through all of this.

I know it’s nothing like we’ve seen before and hopefully will never see again but I know God will help us.

Take a minute and pray for someone you know who might be a bit anxious about all this. Ask God to wrap His arms around them. Then, take another moment and give them a call just to let them know you are thinking about them.

Blessings to you!

Dad Joke #1: Do you know what they call someone without a body and without a nose? Nobody knows.

I know it’s goofy but please keep track for me how many times you repeat it! I know you will.
