Open My Eyes: Seeing Through the Lens of Faith
What do you see when you’re surrounded by an unexpected battle? In 2 Kings 6, Elisha’s servant saw an enemy army and feared the worst. But Elisha saw something greater: God’s power and protection all around them.
In “Open My Eyes: See Through the Lens of Faith,” Dr. Julie Geddes explores how we can face difficult circumstances with faith instead of fear. When battles come, we can acknowledge reality, ask God to open our eyes, seek His direction, and choose to see our circumstances through the lens of faith.
What feels overwhelming is never greater than the God who is with us. We may not see the whole picture, but we can trust the One who does.
