Seeing By Faith
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 6:17)
Elisha's servant was afraid when he saw an army surrounding the city. Elisha wanted his servant to see in the spirit. So 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, protecting them from the enemies.
This is a perfect illustration of seeing in the natural and seeing in the spirit. Elisha was seeing by faith, whereas his servant was believing only what he could physically see. Faith reveals that God is doing more for His people than they can ever realize through sight alone. When we can't figure out how things will work out naturally, we must remember that spiritual resources are there even when we can't see them.
Look through the eyes of faith and see God's resources. If you don't see God working in your life, the problem may be your spiritual eyesight, not God's power.
