2 Kings 6

2Ki 6:16
So he answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."

How comforting to know this! Although sometimes we need the LORD to open our eyes before we can see this.

Elisha's servant was worried when he saw the great army of the Syrians, but Elisha knew that God's heavenly army was even greater and was there for him. He prayed that his servant's eyes be opened and God opened his eyes to see the horses and chariots of fire. Later, Elisha also prayed that the Syrians' eyes be opened after God blinded them, and God again opened their eyes and they saw.

Only God can open one's eyes to see the things of God. Only God has the ability to open the eyes of one's heart to see and accept God.

Today, rather than praying for our physical eyes to be opened, let us pray for our spiritual eyes to be opened such that we can see the abiding presence of God and His army; so that we can be reassured that those who are with us are more than those who are with them.

Also, pray not that people's physical eyes be opened to see signs and miracles so as to believe; rather, pray that God open their spiritual eyes to see God in the truth and to know Him personally.
