2 King 6:17And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he
may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and,
behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about
Elisha.
The
servant saw the city surrounded by the Syrian army. All he could see was that
in a matter of time, we will be captured, or even killed. We don’t even have
the resources here to defend us. It’s plain to see we are out numbered. But the
Syrian army was only one little part of the picture. There was something else
there that was hidden for the natural eye. So the prophet had to pray: Lord,
open his eyes that he might see.
Its
not always the things we can see with our natural eyes that portraits the whole
picture. That’s why Paul admonishes the Corinthian church not to look on the
things you can see, but rather on the things you cannot see. We need to be reminded;
more are they that are with us, then those with the enemy. Greater is he that
is in us, than he that is in the world.
