Dear Father,
The king of Syria sent a great host of chariots and horses to take Elisha captive. When Elisha’s servant saw them, he cried out to his master, “What shall we do?” But Elisha prayed and said, “Lord, I pray Thee, open his eyes, that he may see.” And You opened his eyes, and he saw that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
If Elisha had not been aware of the great army that stood by him, I imagine his first response would have been to flee! How embarrassing and degrading it would have been to run from a battle already won, simply because he was unaware. I’m pondering the likelihood of this same scenario recurring in various aspects of our lives.
I've learned that awareness is often the missing link between supernatural possibilities and human limitations, and the factor that determines destiny. I wonder how often we’ve chosen flight over victory; how often we’ve settled for lesser positions when we were created for great inventions; how we’ve restructured our goals to accommodate less, in proportion to the size of our awareness; and how unawareness has robbed us of desiring and attaining great heights in the Kingdom.
Father, open our eyes that we may see.
