Open My Eyes that I may see

2 Kings 6:15-18KJV

15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? 16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

1. The servant looked out as we all do with his flesh and saw the enemy and was afraid like anyone of us would be!

Psalm 27:2-3KJV

Acts 18:9-10KJV

And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
