2020 VISION -- A prayer for the New Year.
(only once, in the history of mankind, will it be 20/20?! if you don't count BC?!)
Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.”
So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold,
the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:17
Lord, in this new year, give us eyes to see, clearly, fully, joyfully ...
to see Your undeserved, unmerited, unconditional, incredible love.
to see Your sovereign power and control over the least detail and the most important.
to see Your care and concern for all, from least to greatest, from closest to farthest, from holiest to vilest.
to see Your "glorious little ones" Your "fiery flaming ones" the mighty myriads on the mountains around us, the charioteers ...
to see Your footsteps in the sand, Your whisper in the calm, Your peace in the storm.
to see the invisible, the joy and hope and love, that surrounds and infuses us.
to see the Babe, the Child in the Temple, the One walking on the sea, the compassionate Healer, ..., the crucified, risen Lord.
to see the Matthew-25 "least of these" ... and see the blessing to respond with a touch, a cup, a kindness.
to see Him who sits at your right hand, ever interceding and pleading for us, sinners saved by His sacrifice.
to see the Place being prepared, far beyond what has been seen or imagined.
