The Miracle of Sight

I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. Ephesian 1:18 (NLT)

​Bible Reading: 2 Kings 6:8-23

One of the prayers I encourage you to pray this year is that God open your eyes. Specifically, ask the Lord to open your eyes to see Jesus, to know who you are in Him and His precious promises concerning you. A closed eye is a closed destiny because a blind or closed eye can not see. God told Abraham, “Look as far as you can see in every direction—north and south, east and west. I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession.” (Genesis 13:14-15).

In our Bible reading today, Elisha’s servant was panicking due to the Syrian forces that surrounded them and the faith he needed was found in his sight. The moment God opened his eyes after Elisha’s prayer, he saw more heavenly hosts of angels and armies surrounding them than those of the Syrians. Like Elisha’s servant, we need God to open our eyes to see Him and His miracles in our lives. The eye of our faith has to be word-centered so that we can see through the lens of God’s word. This will help us see the upper story (that is the amazing thing that God is doing).

Dear friends, I encourage you to spend time in God’s word because it is the lamp unto our feet. Pray for a miracle of sight so that you can see what God is seeing and not what the circumstance is seeing.

Daily Confession: I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. Ephesians 1:18

Intercessory prayer: Pray for your pastors that God will give them a fresh sight to see as God sees in Jesus’ name.

Hymn: Lord, lift me up, and let me stand

By faith on Canaan’s tableland;

A higher plane than I have found,

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
