28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.      Romans 8:28 “And we know”“Everything”“God causes”“For the good”8 When the king of Aram was at war with Israel, he would confer with his officers and say, “We will mobilize our forces at such and such a place.” 9 But immediately Elisha, the man of God, would warn the king of Israel, “Do not go near that place, for the Arameans are planning to mobilize their troops there.” 10 So the king of Israel would send word to the place indicated by the man of God. Time and again Elisha warned the king, so that he would be on the alert there. 11 The king of Aram became very upset over this. He called his officers together and demanded, “Which of you is the traitor? Who has been informing the king of Israel of my plans?” 12 “It’s not us, my lord the king,” one of the officers replied. “Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel even the words you speak in the privacy of your bedroom!” 13 “Go and find out where he is,” the king commanded, “so I can send troops to seize him.” And the report came back: “Elisha is at Dothan.” 14 So one night the king of Aram sent a great army with many chariots and horses to surround the city. 15 When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. “Oh, sir, what will we do now?” the young man cried to Elisha. 16 “Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!”    2 Kings 6:8-16God Works in the Background While We Wait in the Foreground2 Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.        Psalms 125:216 “Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!”   2 Kings 6:16There’s More Going On Than You Can See17 Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.     2 Kings 6:17      The Middle is Where Trust is StrengthenedYour View Doesn’t Determine God’s Plan  Action Steps: What Do I Do When I Can’t See It?1. Pray for Vision, Not Just Victory2. Rehearse God’s Resume3. Stay in the Story4. Choose Trust Over Clarity
