2 Kings 6:15-17
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.
We don’t know if Elisha could see with his physical eyes that the army of the Lord surrounded them. But we do know that he looked with eyes of faith.
Having trouble seeing with eyes of faith?
We can echo the prayer of the father in Mark 9:23-24.
“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

I am not a nervous traveler. I enjoy flying and can’t wait for the feeling of being pushed into the seat at takeoff. It lulls me to sleep and, if it’s a short flight, I automatically awaken as soon as the plane starts its descent.
Later today, the flight I will depart on is a long one—a nonstop from Dallas to Santiago, Chile, where I will board another flight to go to Buenos Aires, Argentina, for the first leg of a three-week trip.
While traveling, my faith is put to the test since there are many more things out of my control than when I am at home: my schedule, my food, and even my safety.
The trips that I take serve as a reminder of how faithful God is to protect and care for me, no matter where I am.
During the next three weeks, while I travel, please join me in lifting the following requests to our Father:
- Safety and no complications in all of the travel logistics through three countries
- Health, especially for my gut and feasibility of finding the foods I need
- That God will speak through me to encourage and bless the women I come into contact with
- That God will bless the Redentor congregation hosting me in Buenos Aires, and the classes I will teach there
- That God will bless all those who will attend the national Bolivian camp in Cochabamba, and the women’s track I will teach
- That God will speak through me and rejoice with the Sisters Connected in Christ, in Santiago, Chile, for the conference
