Have you ever looked back at an event and realized something new that you didn’t understand at the time? Perhaps someone speaks about the event from a different perspective, or you see videos that show you something new. Sometimes, we just need to take a broader view in order to understand the truth.
II Kings 6:17 says, “Then Elisha prayed and said, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” So 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.” The prophet Elisha and a young man were surrounded by enemy soldiers, and the young man became afraid. Elisha saw something that the young man didn’t see. God had placed a huge army of heavenly hosts with Elisha, and they would fight for him. Elisha asked God to open the eyes of the young man so that he could see what God was prepared to do for him. In the same way, we should ask God to open our eyes so that we can see what He is doing for us and is prepared to do through us.
