The second thing you want to do when a sneak attack comes your way is to begin to think that everybody is against you. That's especially true when someone says, "Well you know that's what everybody thinks!" Those that blindside us often are few in number, but they try to make it seem that they are more that are with them than there really are. It's their desire to instill fear within your heart and destroy your faith in yourself, others, and in God.
Read 2 Kings 6. These words ring out true to the men and women of God that are faithful and not fearful. Verses 15-17 read as follows: "And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."
The enemy always tries to look and be bigger than he really is. Those sneak attackers always try to instill fear within us to make us afraid, doubt, be troubled, and vexed in our spirit. But hold on to the promise of God given to the believer that is faithful and not fearful. That promise is that He would never leave nor forsake us. Don't let fear separate you from your faith just because somebody tries to be a stumbling block in your way. Press on, praise God, and don't give in to fear. God is on your side and He will rescue you if your need a way out or through. (Continued tomorrow)
