Proverbs 29:18
Where there is no revelation, the people cast off
restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law.
2 Kings 6:8-18
Now the king of Syria was making war against Israel; and
he consulted with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such
and such a place.” And the man of God sent to the king of Israel,
saying, “Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Syrians are
coming down there.” Then the king of Israel sent someone to the
place of which the man of God had told him. Thus he warned him, and he
was watchful there, not just once or twice. Therefore the heart of the
king of Syria was greatly troubled by this thing; and he called his
servants and said to them, “Will you not show me which of us is
for the king of Israel?” And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O
king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of
Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.” So he said, “Go and
see where he is, that I may send and get him.” And it was told
him, saying, “Surely he is in Dothan.” Therefore he sent horses
and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and
surrounded the city. And when the servant of the man of God arose early
and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and
chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we
do?” So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us
are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed,
and said, “LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the LORD
opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain
was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD,
and said, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.” And He struck
them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
Romans 8:31
What then shall we say to these things? If God is
for us, who can be against us?
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight. |
