"So it came to pass when King Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, who cried out against the altar in Bethel, that he stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, 'Arrest him!' Then his hand, which he stretched out toward him, withered, so that he could not pull it back to himself." 1 Kings 13:4 (NKJ)
 
We read in this passage of a prophet of God being sent to confront the king of Israel, Jeroboam. This was truly an audacious thing to do, pronouncing judgement on someone of such great power. But, the prophet of the Lord does it without fear or hesitation. When he does the king tries to have him arrested, but the prophet has not come to do the Lord's work alone; God is with him! When the king stretches out his hand to have the prophet arrested the Lord strikes him. God was with the prophet to protect him, and insure, he would be successful on his mission.
 
If God calls us into harm's way we can be sure that He will be there with us! God never sends us to do his work alone, He always comes along. And, when the enemy stretches out his hand to cause us harm, our God is there ready to defend us. We have no need to give way to fear when the Lord calls us to do daring things for His Kingdom, for He is with us! If God has called you to do something that seems audacious at best, and everyone around you is reminding you of the terrible things that could happen to you, remember, you're not going it alone! God is going with you! He will strengthen you and fight for you! Step-out in faith, trusting in the Lord, and you will fulfill all the mighty works God has prepared for you!
 
"If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go." Psalm 91:9-11 (NLT)
