Open my eyes

2 Kings 6:17 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.

 You have probably sung the popular worship song “Open The Eyes Of My Heart Lord”.

In 2 Kings 6:17, the enemy surrounded Elisha and his servant.  Maybe that is how you feel. Maybe you feel like the enemy has surrounded you on every side.  You don’t know what you are going to do.  Maybe you have tried everything and nothing has worked thus far.

 I know how you feel; I have been there myself, but in reality God is in control.  He has everything handled; we just need to have the Lord open our eyes.  The Bible declares in 1John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

 The Greater One lives in us and we are surrounded by a host of angels.  God is in control, you are not surrounded by the enemy and problems; the enemy and problems are surrounded. Open our eyes Lord!
