My friend Bill Hubbard sent this to me this morning & I LOVED IT! I think it fits all of you who are praying for Luke & remembering him daily. Your prayers are the shield of protection around him. God is great ! He wrote:
As I’ve prayed for Luke over the past days, the image that keeps coming to mind is that of Elisha the prophet.
The king of Syria was coming to kill Elisha and surrounded the place where he and his servant were staying. The servant was terrified of the unseen dangers around them, but Elisha said to him:"Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." Then Elisha prayed and said, 'O LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.' And the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha (2 King 6:15-17)In the pit of despair, when there seemed to be no one there but Elisha and his servant, God reveals that they are surrounded by angels who are ready to battle against the enemy.
This image comes to my mind so many times when I feel surrounded and alone and feel like God has abandoned me. He is always there in power, even when He is unseen to our eyes which can so easily become shrouded by doubt and fear.
Thanks to you all & may God bless you & your families as well! Eric
