II Kings II
Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. (II Kings 6:17 ESV)
Behind the Scenes
I like to know the rest of the story. I like to know what happened behind the scenes. I like to understand the script, the back-story, the truth behind the illusions.
And Elisha’s servant Gehazi got to know those things.
With one quick mind-blowing peak behind the curtain.
Behind everything is the power of God.
Elisha knew it, and had peace in terrifying times. Jesus knew it, and trusted His Father all the way through the cross to the empty tomb. Stephen knew it, and was martyred with hope.
We know it…
Let that knowledge lift your timid expectations. Let that knowledge give you nightly rest. Let that knowledge lift the edges of your mouth in a smile. Let that knowledge make you amazed at your God.
