HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div
“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 6:17
I only need the eyes which God has opened — and I shall see that all things are working together for my good.
I shall see His providences busy promoting my truest welfare. Prosperity easily spoils the soul — and adversity easily discourages it. But, let my vision be purged and illuminated and intensified by the touch of the divine hand — and I shall trace in light and in darkness, in rest and in a storm, in joy and in grief — the presence and grace of my Father who does all things well. I will go unharmed now through the Enchanted Ground; I will have a song in the midnight and the dungeon.
I shall see His angels surrounding me to enshield me from wrong. Usually, the angels are invisible. They are my bodyguard of ministering spirits, sent forth to watch on my behalf; yet a veil is drawn between them and me, and my eyes are blinded. But faith removes the obscuring veil, and I know that the mountain is filled with horses and chariots of fire!
I shall see His Holy Spirit occupying my being and perfecting that which concerns me. And this is the best sight of all: God Himself . . .
- dwelling in my heart,
- subduing my sin,
- increasing my wisdom,
- ripening my character,
- leading me on and up —
there is nothing which is so much to be desired. Now and always it is the assurance of the noblest blessedness. To have God not simply near but within my soul — it is a more satisfying vision than that which Elisha’s servant witnessed in Dothan.
He lives victoriously, whose eyes God opens.
