Have you ever been in a position where you have missed seeing some things that God has been showing you or that He has been doing in the life of you and your family? Perhaps you find it difficult to recognize the root cause of some of the things that keep happening to you.
Ok let us look at II Kings 6:8-23. In this passage we read the story about the prophet Elisha, his servant and the Aramean King. The Aramean King was mad with Elisha because he was responsible for the victories of the Israelites. Elisha would supernaturally know about the King’s plans to attack Israel and would tell it to the King of Israel. Of course Israel knowing this would be prepared when the armies of Aram came to attack and would end up winning the battles.
The King of Aram wanted to capture Elisha and perhaps punish him for revealing his plans to the King of Israel. When Elisha’s assistance heard that the King of Aram wanted to capture Elisha he became fearful. Elisha was not afraid because he was able to see the armies God had arranged to fight his battle. Elisha did not argue with his servant but simply asked God to open his eyes so he could see the armies of Heaven that were on their side. After seeing this Elisha’s servant had the confidence he needed to go forward and not worry.
