Seeing is a deliberate and intentional act of
choosing what to look at. You can look and not see, but you can’t see and not
look. What you see is what you get. Mar 8:18a says “Having eyes, see ye not?”
Someone said many look, few see. Friends, the truth is this, if your eyes are
not seeing well, your journey in life might not go well.
In the book of 2Kings 6, we read of the story of the
King of Syria warring against Israel. Elisha quickly came to the aid of the
Israelites and this got the king of Syria angry. So he ordered that Elisha be
arrested. When Elisha’s servant saw the host that compassed the city both with
horses and chariots, he became fearful, just like most of us would do.
The servant shouted, “Alas, my master, what shall we
do?” He was looking at the Syrian army whereas Elisha was seeing the host of
heaven. This made Elisha pray in verse 17 of that chapter, “And Elisha prayed,
and said, LORD, I pray thee; open his eyes that he may see.” Bible says 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. The moment the
servant saw this, he knew there was no stopping them.
You can go far in life, only if you can see far. You
can make it only if you can see it. Until you can form the picture in your mind
and see it becoming a reality, it would be pretty difficult to enjoy life the
way God designed it to be. Some of us see evil, scarcity, failure, destruction,
miscarriage, poverty, joblessness, death and all sort of negative things and we
have forgotten that what the eyes see, the mind brood over and that is what the
spirit feeds on and in turn becomes what the soul experiences.
The farther you see, the higher you go.
