2 Kings 6:11-12
And the mind of the king of Syria was greatly troubled because of this thing, and he called his servants and said to them, “Will you not show me who of us is for the king of Israel?” And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
Truth: God knows the minds of the non-believer and will stop their actions when He pleases
The King of Syria was attempting to conquer Israel. The King had repeatedly set traps for the King of Israel, but each time, Elisha the prophet, warned him. The King of Syria asks his servants who was giving the King of Israel inside information and it was discovered that, Elisha, the man of God, was not only able to know of all his plans ... even from the quiet words in his bedroom. God was using the knowledge He had of the King of Syria to make sure God's plan was still in tack and not challenged. It is important for us to remember and rest in the assurance that God knows the evil plans of the non-believer and God is still in complete control. We could get mighty fearful and act foolishly if we thought the non-believing world was out of control and could do whatever they wanted. But, God is in complete control, even when the world does not know about God's plan and God's control. God will not allow anything to happen to us in regard to man's evil deeds, without God being fully knowledgable and fully allowing it to happen. That is the truth!!!
