The King of Syria was warring against Israel when the prophet Elisha was sent by God to intervene for His people. When Elisha’s servant rose early in the morning, the small town where they were staying was completely surrounded by enemy horses & chariots. When he anxiously told Elisha about this, Elisha’s response was, “Don’t be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” (II Kings 6:16) He then asked the Lord to open his servant’s spiritual eyes that he might see something that didn’t appear to the naked eye…it was God’s heavenly armies with chariots of fire waiting to do battle with the Syrians. Sometimes we need to employe that same prayer when life has blinded us by grief, depression, and anxiety. Psalm 119:18 asks God to, “Open my eyes that I may see the wonderful things in Your Law.” While Jesus taught the disciples in John 4:35 that they should, “Open your eyes and look at the fields.”…comparing evangelism with the harvest of crops. For when God unveils & opens our eyes, we will understand & be able to perceive His plan, purpose, and Divine Will for our life so much easier.
