2 Kings 6:17
“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”―2 Kings 6:1717And 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. (2 Kings 6:17).
UNBELIEF ever fills the heart with fear, far it magnifies the difficulties and loses sight of the power of God, but no matter what the circumstances which may confront the believer it still remains blessedly true that, “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” The angels of the Lord were encamping roundabout the city wherein Elisha and his servant dwelt, even before the servant’s eyes were open to behold them; sight but confirmed that which was true already. So may we have opened eyes to recognize the marvelous way in which the angel of the Lord encampeth roundabout them that fear Him and delivereth them,
“He fainteth not, nor ever groweth weary,
The Mighty One, whose arm is strong to save!
He giveth strength to aid the fainting pilgrim.
And to the weak the courage to be brave.
He sleepeth not; His eyelid closeth never;
His children are His care both night and day;
He raiseth up the poor, the needy lifteth;
The wayward feet He leadeth in the way.
He faileth not; His faithfulness abideth;
Our friends may fail, but He remaineth true.
His ‘fear nots’ glow with comfort for the troubled;
The faithful Guide will lead the journey through.”
