"Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber."
2 Kings 6:8-12
This is a cool story about how the king of Syria thought that there was a spy among his servants, but it was just the prophet telling the king of Israel what he would do. :) It's a good reminder that God knows everything, and that he is in charge.
Maybe we need that reminder once in a while, especially when things look bleak. In this same chapter Elisha's servants sees that they are surrounded by an army and he gets a little freaked out: "Alas, my master! how shall we do?" (2 Kings 6:15). But Elisha prayed, and God blinded the whole army, and Elisha led them away.
Things are not as they seem, unless we are filled with the Spirit and including our spiritual perceptions. God is the one that can see all things, and prepare for all things... and he has. Today, let's trust in him, and look to God for the answers that we need. He's our inside man in every circumstance. :)
