Servant-worried, or Elisha-sure?*

Sharon Slaton Howell

Not helpless he who, when
feeling besieged by
fearful, adverse forces,
turns and sees the truths
Elisha knew and prayed
to have his servant understand:
Here right now are God's resources.
Man is not unaided after all.
God's help is always at hand.
He will not let His children fall.

Finding out what Truth reveals
helps us see what's really real.

Sharon Slaton Howell

*See II Kings 6:15–17.
