Elisha's servant was getting nervous. He kept warning Elisha that the Syrians would tire of having their plans foiled. "Soon," he kept warning Elisha, "soon they will come for you, not the king."
Sure enough, one morning as the servant arose early to begin the day's chores, he went outside. Once outside he stretched and looked around. What he saw made his heart stop. All around him, as far as he could see, were enemy troops. In his fear he dropped what he was doing and ran back in for Elisha. His shouting awoke the prophet. Elisha listened to the stammering of his servant and followed him outside. Outside, he looked around and said to his servant, "There are more with us than against us." Then he prayed that his servant's eyes be opened. Instantly his servant saw horsemen and chariots of fire on every hilltop.
When you wake up and find the world encamped around you. Look to the hills and know that there are more with you than against you.
