“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.” – 2 Kings 6:17
In his book “Beyond Disillusionment to Faith,” author James S. Stewart talks about a trip to Switzerland to observe Jungfrau Mountain. “I remember once near Interlaken waiting for days to see the Jungfrau, which was hidden in mists. People told me it was there, and I should have been a fool to doubt their word, for those who told me lived there, and they knew. Then, one day, the mists were gone, and the whole mountain stood revealed. The next day, the mists were back, but now I had seen and knew myself that It was true…Let us trust our own moments of vision: what matters if there are days when the mists come down, and the face of God is hidden? We have seen, and we know forever that this is real, so real that by it we can live and die”
There is a reality that is beyond our eyes that only faith can reveal. Today, in prayer, praise Jesus that He is Lord of all the seen and the unseen.
“My knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim, But ‘tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with him.” – Richard Baxter
