Action Thought: God’s love and presence is all around you, even when you can’t see it. Sometimes we have to train our eyes to see Him with us. And sometimes the fact that He is with us enables us to do amazing things, such as being kind to our enemies.
Do not those who plot evil go astray?
But those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness.
In this account of Elisha’s asking God to strike his enemy with blindness, we are not told exactly what or who the invisible army of horses and chariots is. What do you think it is? Ask friends and family members what they think about this story.
This story is one of the more exciting ones in the Bible and it stands out by the appearance of an invisible army. Create a piece of artwork (a song, a story, an illustration, a sculpture, a play, a dance, etc.) that reflects what happens in this story.
Dear God, open my eyes so that I can see how Your love protects me and how I can share Your love with others. Amen.
