"Lord...open his eyes that he may see." 2 Kings 6:17 NKJV
One morning in a city called Dothan, a servant of the prophet Elisha awoke and was terrified because an enemy army surrounded him and his boss. "What shall we do?" he cried. Elisha told him to chill out, for "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." Then Elisha prayed for him: "Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." And the Lord opened his eyes, and he saw that they were surrounded by horses and chariots of fire—the power of God and protection of God (see vv. 15-17 NKJV). As a result, their enemies were neutralized. What if this became your prayer as well? What if every time you were challenged or burdened, God opened your spiritual eyes to see that you too were surrounded by His power and protection? It happened to two followers of Jesus who were walking on the road to Emmaus after the crucifixion. A third man joined them. It was Jesus, walking and talking with them—but they didn't recognize Him until He began to pray. And then they knew. Then they said, "Did not our heart button within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?" (Lk 24:32 NKJV). What if you were on the road to Emmaus, commuting into work, school, or home—and Jesus was right there beside you? What is you could join the "fellowship of the burning" and actually experience His presence? You can. Just reach for Him, recognize Him, and respond to Him.
