“For the Lord had caused the army of the Arameans to hear a sound of chariots and a sound of horses, even the sound of a great army, so that they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.” Therefore, they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents and their horses and their donkeys, even the camp just as it was, and fled for their life.” (2 Kings 7:6-7)

God can thwart the plans of anyone and He can break through any obstacle. In this biblical event, the enemy fled and God’s people collected the spoils.

“As he was relating to the king how he had restored to life the one who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life appealed to the king for her field. And Gehazi said, “My Lord, O king, this is the woman and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.” (2 Kings 8:5, NASB)

God is the master of putting people in the right place at the right time!

‘For I will defend this city to save it for My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.'” Then it happened that night that the angel of the Lord went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men rose early in the morning, behold, all of them were dead. (2 Kings 19:34-35)

Remember – God can defend. He is powerful, and when we face those who are against us, God hears our prayers and takes any attack against His own personally.

Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You. (Psalm 139:12, NASB 1995)

God knows what you are feeling, and He is there with you.

“All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and truth to those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.” (Psalm 25:10, NASB)

God is better than any app. He never misleads you and already knows the best route for you to take.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Luke 12:34, NASB)

Take a moment to ponder what you treasure, then ask yourself if its mobility is eternal.

“I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” (Psalm 27:13, NASB)

God is good, and when we do not understand God’s goodness, we must remember His omniscience.
