erything In Gods manner When the
king Of Syria sent his horsemen and
charioteers to capture Elisha the
prophets servant was sore afraid.
Elisha was not. Why? He saw re-
endorsements the frightened eyes of his
servants could not see. At last the
prophet cried to his servant: Look,
man; look! Look at the re-enforce-
ments God is sending to us to fight
against these men of flesh and blood"
Then the young man looked. This is
the account Of the Bible: "And the
Lord opened the eyes of the young
man, and he saw, and, behold, the
mountains were full of horses and
chariOts Of fire round about Elisha"
They were the angelic hosts. Those |
angels are about you today. They are |
messengers sent from God for your
protection and triumph. VIII you not
take courage? Before your reviewing
stand march the nations, while at
your left and right, before and behind,
stand your protecting angels. Astro-
nOmical, atmospheric, socialistic and
angelic forces are now ready to fight
for your eternal welfare.
Thus when l began the study of the
tragic events of Joshua's life did not
think they were very unusual. If JOSH
ua by the strength of his own arm had
won the battles they would have been =
wonderful, but the victories were not I
won alone by the Jewish captain. They :
were won by the Lord God Almighty, !
who said to the new leader: There
shall not any man be able to stand be- Q
fore thee all the days of thy life; as 1 ii
was with Moses so I will be with thee. n
will not fail thee nor fOrsake thee" r.
