eyesight

15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. "Oh, my lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked. 16 "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." 17 And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:15-17

Imagine if we looked on all our situations (difficult and not so difficult) with spirit filled eyes. We would see ALL that God is doing. Faith reveals that God is doing more for HIS people then we can ever realize through sight alone. Situations can seem impossible, insurmountable ... remember there are spiritual resources at work even when you cannot see them.

My Life Application Study Bible goes further to say that if you do not see, the problem may be your own spiritual eyesight ... not a lacking of God's power.

It is my prayer that my eyesight will be faith filled - always. Of course it is not easy, but with his strength in me, I can learn to see. I think it might take practice, and I am willing.

Lord, strengthen my spiritual eyesight - allow me to see all that amazing power that surrounds me. AMEN.

GRACE AND PEACE!
