Katie’s church in Indy is live streaming their Sunday service. The pastor and worship team are on site, but the rest of the church family is home. We enjoyed the sermon and then had our own time of singing and then remembered the Lord in the breaking of bread.
The message was encouraging. Taken from 2 Kings 6:8-17 where the King of Aram is warring against Israel and is mad at Elisha specifically because he is giving his plans away to the king of Israel; he sent his armies to the city of Dothan where Elisha was and surrounded the city. Elisha's servant saw the armies and was a afraid. Elisha encouraged by telling the servant those that were with them were more than that were in the king's armies.
[The Pastor] likened the armies of the king of Aram to the coronavirus - making us feel like we are surrounded by the enemy! They pulled encouragement from the situation.
First - We can respond to the what we see. Elisha's servant saw the armies and feared
Second - We can respond to what we perceive. There is a lot of things being said and reported that can make us uncertain of the situation
Third - We can respond to what we can't see. We can remember that the Lord has promised to be with us and lead and guide us. He never said there would not be difficult times, but that HE would be with us in them. Elisha asked the Lord to 'open his servants eyes to he could see'. When the Lord responded the servant saw the mountains were full of horses and chariots of fire!
Let's remember that God is still God ad on the throne!
Stay well,
