In I Kings 20 22-28 we see a story about the King of Syria who believes that the God of Israel is a god of the mountains but not a god of the valleys. Basically they would attempt to draw Israel into the valley so they could defeat them. Their reasoning was that Israel's God was only God of certain areas. Simply put God proved them wrong. God sent a Prophet to tell the King of Israel that victory would be his because God would fight for them. God is not put in a box, he is the God of the universe.
This story is has a spiritual significance of telling us that we need to allow God to be the God of all our life, not just areas that are easy. Through Christ we are set free from all that hinders us, not just easy situations. John 10:10 says that Jesus came to give us life and that we may have it abundantly. Are you living an abundant life? Are you trusting God with all your life? Through the blood of Jesus we can have victory over all of life's problems, sickness, sin, bondage, even the fears of just living and trying to get by in this dark world. Don't be like the Syrians and believe God is only able to bring victory in one area of your life. God is god over everything! Together let's trust God to be God. Imagine what great things God can do with willing and obedient people.
