Open Our Eyes!

With God you are always in the majority.

The King of Aram, weary of the prophet Elisha, sent his army to surround the city of Dothan. When morning came the servant could only see one thing…that in the middle of the night the enemy had surrounded them! The prophet on the other hand saw something different…

2 Kings 6:15-16
15 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, my lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked. 16 "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."

In the midst of their enemies Elisha and the servant were not alone. The servant needed his eyes opened so that he could see that they were surrounded by the power and protection of God.

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. – NIV

The most frequent promise in the Bible is “I will be with you.” God spoke to Joshua a promise for every believer, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” and before Jesus left He reminded us of this great promise…

Matt 28:20
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." – NIV

You are not alone today. I encourage you to do as the prophet Elisha. Next time you are challenged or burdened, face difficulty or feel surrounded by your enemies…PAUSE and PRAY a simple prayer…

“O Lord, open my eyes so that I may see what I can not see… that your power and protection surrounds me. I am not alone, you are with me.”

Remember, with God you are always in the majority!
