Morning by Morning, November 6, 2025 – Horses and Chariots of Fire! — Spiritual Eyes Open to See the Presence and Power of God Good morning, Lord Jesus. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — I welcome You here in my heart and every moment of my day. ... “When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. ‘Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?’ the servant asked. “‘Don’t be afraid,’ the prophet answered. ‘Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.’ “And Elisha prayed, ‘Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.’ 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! “As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, ‘Strike this army with blindness.’ So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked” (2 Kings 6:15-18). Some days we get up and look out of our window or get up and look out into our future or get up and look out into our problems and we feel “surrounded.” We feel “afraid.” We feel like the enemy of our souls is about to win another battle in another wave of relentless assaults to “steal and kill and destroy” (John 10:10). Some days his strength seems stronger and his armies seem bigger. And like Elisha’s servant, we cry out, “Oh no, my Lord! What shall we do!” ... But the truth is One greater! There is One stronger! “Greater is the One who is in us than the one who is in the world!” (1 John 4:4) But the truth is we need You to open our eyes to see the truth, to know Your Presence, to know Your provision, Your protection, Your plan, even Your purpose to turn around the attacks of our enemy to increase our faith and trust in You. To prepare us for the battles to come from a place in our hearts of knowing You’re with us, always with us, never leaving us, never forsaking us, but empowering us to overcome! With Your angelic armies, with Your Holy Fire of the Holy Spirit of the Living God burning in us, Your “Chariots of Fire” are all around us! As the worship song declares in trusting, bold proclamation of faith, “It may look like I’m surrounded, but I’m surrounded by You!” Open our eyes that we may see! Open our spiritual eyes to see the Presence and power of our God! Let “the eyes of (our) heart be enlightened in order that (we) may know the hope to which (You) have called (us), the glorious inheritance in (Your) holy people, and (Your) incomparably great power for us who believe!” (Ephesians 1:18-19). “Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!” (1 Corinthians 15:57). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
