Angels Watching Over Me (5 of 5)
Series: These Are the Days of Elisha

2 Kings 6:8-23
There is the true story of a family who was desperately trying to sell their house, which was located on a busy street. Their real estate agent decided to have open-house nearly every day to promote the sale. And they instructed the children not to talk to anyone about the house.

But he became more persistent and, finally, she confessed that there was one secret but she could not tell it to him. ''Ahh, come on,'' he said. ''Tell me the secret. I promise I won't tell anyone.'' She looked him straight in the eye and whispered, ''We have angels watching over us here.''

Verse: ''When my heart is sad and blue - angels watching over me my Lord.
I call on Him to see me through - angels watching over me.''
Verse: ''Angels standing all around me - angels watching over me my Lord.
They tell me how much God loves me - angels watching over me.''
Now, that's a really nice song - but is it true? Do we REALLY have angels watching over us? Well, that's what our story tells us today. Angels watch over God's people!
Apparently, the King of Syria had discovered that Elisha had been warning the King of Israel about ambushes Syria had set for Israel's armies, and he was not happy about it. So he sent a ''huge army'' to seize Elisha and bring him back to his city. Horses and chariots and a great army came by night, and in the morning Elisha's servant goes out to the well and is ...
