17 Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.
One thing I have learned from daily reading and meditating upon the Word of God, is there are many more things going on around us; things God is doing, which go unnoticed by the natural eye for we are not educated in the ways of the LORD, nor do we take time to seek His face. Do not be deceived, our God is very much alive and well and all around us. At the times it seems the bleakest, God is at His strongest. He desires we turn our hearts and minds towards Him. By daily reading and studying of His Word, we begin to see all around us He has placed His army of Angels ready to fight for us, to help us, to strengthen us and to give us grace. He promises in His Word, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” and to be “with us even until the end of time”.
If you are at a point in your life, and all you can see is doom, destruction, chaos, confusion, division, strife and you feel there is no hope left, I share this with you. God must TRULY love you, for He is simply trying to get your attention and saying, “Hey, I have EVERYTHING you need right here! Simply come to Me, you weary one, and I will give you rest! Learn of me and you will see” (Matthew 11:28)
He desires to give you ALL that He has, and if you will simply come to Him, He will show you, there are more on His and your side than there are of all you see happening in your life and the world today.
Today, LORD, I pray we learn to run to YOU, and begin to study YOUR Word and ways, so we see more of You, and less of ourselves!
