Run towards your challenge

Run towards your challenge

Bible:2 Kings 6:8-23

He looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all round Elisha (V.17).

Reading

Tom chased the guys who were stealing a bike. He didn’t have a plan. He only knew he needed to get that bike. To his surprise, the three thieves looked his way, dropped the bike and backed away. Tom was both relieved and impressed with himself as he picked up the bike and turned around. That’s when he saw Jeff, his huge, muscly friend who had been following close behind.
Elisha’s servant panicked when he saw his town surrounded by an enemy army. He ran to Elisha, “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” Elisha told him to relax. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then God ‘opened’ the servant’s eyes to the reality, and he “saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all round Elisha” (2 KINGS 6:15-17). If you want to follow Jesus, you may find yourself in some difficult situations. Kids at school might make fun of you; your family may not like you going to church; you might have to stand up for the weird people in your class who get bullied. You may lose sleep wondering how it will all turn out. Remember you’re not alone. You don’t have to be stronger or smarter than the things you face or the people who are making life hard for you. Jesus is with you, and His power is completely unmatched. Ask yourself Paul’s question, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (ROMANS 8:31). Really, who? No one. Run towards your challenge— with God.

GOD IS WITH US IN EVERY STRUGGLE.
