Faith does not deny the reality of our situation, but it does transcend it by revealing the spiritual realm, and spiritual perception puts physical reality into perspective, replacing fear with faith. Don’t just look at your circumstances, or you may despair. Ask God to open your spiritual eyes so you can see His present power!
“ ‘Don’t be afraid,’ the prophet answered. ‘Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.’ . . . Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.”
— 2 Kings 6:16–17 (NIV)
Lord Jesus, it’s hard for us to take our eyes off our circumstances. Help us. Give us spiritual perception so we can replace fear with faith. In Your holy name we pray, amen.
