The Filter of Faith

Listen to Today's Devotion Christ followers hear a language that others miss. In  2 Kings chapter 6 we see this truth played out in dramatic fashion. Elijah’s protégé, Elisha, followed in his mentor’s footsteps and upset the powers of the age. The king of Aram decided to take the young prophet out. He sent a kill squad. They surrounded the city by night. It appeared to be the end. But the man of God saw what his frightened servant could not. “And Elisha prayed, ‘Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see’” (2 Kings 6:17). One saw through the filter of fear. The other, the filter of faith. Elisha learned this lesson from Elijah.  We’d be wise to do the same. Read more Unbreakable Courage For more inspirational messages please visit Max Lucado.
