This passage of Scripture tells the story of how Elisha captures an army.
Verses 8-23 tell the story of how Elisha captures an army. But what I want us to look at are verses 15-17. Elisha's servant had woken up early and saw the Syrian army encompassed about them. We can sense the fear in his voice as he goes to tell Elisha what he has seen. The devil does the same ...read more
Scripture: 2 Kings 6:8-23
What Elisha’s succession to Elijah’s office can tell us about the transfer of power: God’s use of imperfect people, the need for loyalty, ambition, and decisiveness.

Elisha's servant experiences God's presence, protection, and provision when Elisha prays, 'Open his eyes and let him see.' How might we see as God sees?
In the midst of the war between Aram and Israel, the King of Israel seems to have an uncanny ability to predict Aram's army movements. This leads the King of Aram to suspect a spy in his camp.
