上帝的大能
耶和華開他的眼目,他就看見滿山有火車火馬圍繞以利沙。-列王紀下6章17節
在魯益師所寫的《納尼亞傳奇:獅子·女巫·魔衣櫥》中,強大的獅子亞斯蘭曾銷聲匿跡一段時間,當他再度出現時,納尼亞全國上下群情激昂。然而,亞斯蘭竟然任由邪惡的白女巫擺佈而犧牲,使他們的喜悅轉為悲傷。亞斯蘭看似失敗了,但最後他以震耳欲聾的咆哮聲,使女巫倉惶逃離,讓納尼亞人親眼看到他的能力。雖然起初看似敗局已定,但最後卻證明亞斯蘭能勝過那邪惡的女巫。
就像那些亞斯蘭的追隨者一樣,以利沙的僕人在某天清晨,看到自己和以利沙被敵軍包圍時,也感到灰心絕望。他大聲呼喊說:「哀哉!我主啊,我們怎樣行才好呢?」(列王紀下6章15節)以利沙卻平靜地回答說:「不要懼怕!與我們同在的,比與他們同在的更多」(16節)。以利沙接著禱告說:「耶和華啊,求祢開這少年人的眼目,使他能看見」,於是「耶和華開他的眼目,他就看見滿山有火車火馬圍繞以利沙」(17節)。雖然僕人剛開始以為前景黯淡無望,但最終證明,上帝的能力遠勝於敵人的千軍萬馬。
當我們陷入困境時,或許會以為毫無盼望,但上帝要打開我們的眼睛,向我們顯明祂勝過一切!
你正處於何種困境中?
你如何經歷到上帝遠勝於任何邪惡的權勢?
信實的上帝勝過一切。

儘管舊約的兩位先知以利亞(名字意為「耶和華是上帝」)和以利沙(名字意為「上帝是拯救」)有相似的名字,有同樣服事上帝和以色列民的使命,但他們是截然不同的兩個人。他們作先知所行的一切事都記載在列王紀上17章至列王紀下13章。以利亞戲劇性地離開這世界,被旋風接到了天上(列王紀下2章11節);以利沙則因病去世(13章14節)。

The Reality of God
The Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he [saw] chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:17
In C. S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, all of Narnia is thrilled when the mighty lion Aslan reappears after a long absence. Their joy turns to sorrow, however, when Aslan concedes to a demand made by the evil White Witch. Faced with Aslan’s apparent defeat, the Narnians experience his power when he emits an earsplitting roar that causes the witch to flee in terror. Although all seems to have been lost, Aslan ultimately proves to be greater than the villainous witch.
Like Aslan’s followers in Lewis’ allegory, Elisha’s servant despaired when he got up one morning to see himself and Elisha surrounded by an enemy army. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” he exclaimed (2 Kings 6:15). The prophet’s response was calm: “Don’t be afraid . . . . Those who are with us are more than those who are with them” (v. 16). Elisha then prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see” (v. 17). So, “the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha” (v. 17). Although things at first seemed bleak to the servant’s eye, God’s power ultimately proved greater than the enemy horde.
Our difficult circumstances may lead us to believe all is lost, but God desires to open our eyes and reveal that He is greater.
