Open My Eyes
Key Scriptures: 2 Kings 6:15-17
When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that 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.
Lesson One: Sometimes what we don’t is just as important as what we do.
• We will experience fear but we cannot live in fear
2 Kings 6:16, Don’t be afraid. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9, We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
Lesson Two: Sometimes what we can’t see is more important than what we can see.
• Sometimes faith changes the situation but sometimes faith changes the way that we see the situation.
2 Kings 6:17, And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that 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.
