More Are They Who Are With Us

Description

May we never forget that no matter how the situation looks, the reality is that we already have the victory, and God is with us and for us. This painting is inspired by 2 Kings 6:15-17, where Elisha's servant is filled with fear at the sight of the army that has come against them, but Elisha asks the Lord, "Open his eyes that he may see", and the servant sees the horses and chariots of the Lord surrounding them. We walk always surrounded by the Lord of hosts and His angel armies, so why should we fear? In Psalm 91:9-15, it says:

If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” 
   and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call on me, and I will answer him;I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.


(Listen to Whom Shall I Fear by Chris Tomlin, and rest in the love of our God who is the God of angel armies!)
