Lord, I Pray, Open His Eyes

The miracles which were given by the Lord for Elisha to do, to show all men His sovereign control of human history continue on in these verses. Our God is a God of miraculous doings at many points, but people do not by nature see it. We will see here in these verses that God had to open the eyes of the understanding of Elisha’s servant so that he might see the truth about how God guards His people. And we see also from this passage that He can also strike men with blindness to accomplish His good purposes, to keep them from further sin against His messengers, and cause them to be at peace with His people. Truly, we have much to learn about the ways of God. And so, this evening I want us to give our attention to the 3 miraculous things which Elisha was enabled to do by God’s power, to preserve and protect His people and establish the truth of His faithfulness to them.
