Open My Eyes

“And 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.” — 2 Kings 6:17

Men, Elisha’s servant looked out and saw only danger — armies, pressure, and certain defeat. From a human standpoint, he wasn’t wrong… he just wasn’t seeing everything.

Elisha saw what the servant could not — that God was present, powerful, and already at work.

How often do we do the same?
We see the bills, but not God’s provision.
We see the conflict, but not God’s purpose.
We see the pressure, but not God’s power.

The problem is not always what we are facing — it's how we're seeing. We need eyes of faith.

God has not left you alone in your responsibilities. He is at work in ways you cannot always see. His power surrounds you. His presence goes before you. His purposes are higher than your perspective.

Don’t just look at your circumstances — look for God in the middle of them.

Growth Point:
When you face challenges, pause and pray, “Lord, open my eyes to see You in this.” Then intentionally look for His hand, His help, and His purpose in that situation.
