For things are not always what they seem. In one story Elisha the prophet is in the city of Dothan, and he and his servant awake to find the city surrounded by an enemy army. Elisha’s servant was in a panic and said to him, “Oh, my Lord, what shall we do?” The prophet answered him, “Don’t be afraid, those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes so he may see.” The Bible says, “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 6:16-17). They were surrounded and protected by the armies of God and had no idea that they were there. Many times if we are to understand what is happening around us, we need spiritual eyes that come as a gift from God. He enables us to see, hear and feel things we do not experienced from the natural. The little frustrations and disappointments of the day may be caused by our seeing thing and focusing on the dark side, to distract us from the goodness of God. And just as it was with Elisha, just when things look their worst, God is surrounding us with a greater power than we can ever imagine. But we will only see it if our spiritual eyes are opened.
