MEMORISE: But blessed are your eyes, for they see Matthew 13:16a
BIBLE READING: 2 Kings 6:15-17
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.
MESSAGE:
The eagle is one of the most outstanding birds in the world because of its unique qualities. It flies at a higher altitude than most birds and has very good vision. Many teenagers lack vision, and that is why they are easily influenced by their friends and social trends. They would rather jump on the bandwagon and end up doing the wrong things than set the pace in doing positive things.
You can be outstanding when your sight is as sharp as the eagle’s, and this can only be achieved with God’s help. When God opens your spiritual eyes, you will have deep insights and understanding concerning matters beyond a physical viewpoint. In today’s Bible reading, when Gehazi became afraid of the great army that came to arrest his master, Elisha told him not to be afraid because there were heavenly hosts on standby that could not be seen with physical eyes. He then prayed that God should open Gehazi’s eyes, and the servant was able to see the horses and chariots of fire surrounding them.
My dear child, when your spiritual eyes are open, you won’t follow people or trends blindly. Your decisions will be based on divine revelations, and you will be a pacesetter.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please give me insights and understanding beyond the physical viewpoint.
