MASTER, WHAT SHALL WE DO?
(Pray)
“And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.”
II Kings 6:15-17
Elisha did not pray for GOD to change the situation. Rather, his only request was that his servant’s eyes would be opened to see the truth. That is, the spiritual reality that was already present but hidden from sight.
Elisha didn’t try to argue, explain, or convince the servant of what he himself already knew, “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” He understood that no amount of human reasoning could reveal what only GOD could uncover.
So, he prayed and GOD answered.
When someone is blind to spiritual reality, no explanation, no logic, and no persuasion will suffice. Only GOD can open spiritual eyes. While He may use people, the act of opening one’s heart is GOD’s work alone.
When the servant’s eyes were finally opened, everything changed. He now saw the mountains full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding and protecting them. What once looked like a hopeless defeat now stood revealed as a moment of divine assurance.
Sometimes, we don’t need GOD to change the situation. We need Him to open our eyes to the reality of His presence in it. Often, what we perceive as overwhelming is only so because we’re seeing it through the lens of fear, lack, or helplessness. However, when we pray for our spiritual eyes to be opened, we begin to see that GOD has already made provision. His armies are already encamped around us and His grace is already sufficient.
Heavenly Father, thank You for being the GOD who sees, knows, and surrounds us even when we feel outnumbered. Like Elisha, we don’t ask for the situation to change, but that we may see. Open our spiritual eyes, Lord. Lift the veil of fear and doubt, in JESUS’ name.
