Contemplation (verses 6-17): When Elisha thought that he is alone in the wilderness, he actually was in the company of angels. So were the Hebrews persecuted by Pharaoh; they, in anguish went through the wilderness, but those who faithfully endured, entered into the promised land. The same way, those who temporarily endure sorrows here, will find comfort at the end; whereas those who do not will be treaded upon under feet, and will have a sad end. _____ + Origen of Alexandria

Personal Reflection: When I feel surrounded or outnumbered by life’s troubles, do I remember that God’s army is with me? Do I train my spiritual eyes to see God’s hand working behind the scenes?
