《為上帝施行奇事》Day02
《求祢開這少年人的眼目，使他能看見。》
8 亞蘭王與以色列人爭戰，和他的臣僕商議說：「我要在某處某處安營。」9 神人打發人去見以色列王，說：「你要謹慎，不要從某處經過，因為亞蘭人從那裏下來了。」10 以色列王差人去窺探神人所告訴所警戒他去的地方，就防備未受其害，不止一兩次。11 亞蘭王因這事心裏驚疑，召了臣僕來，對他們說：「我們這裏有誰幫助以色列王，你們不指給我嗎？」12 有一個臣僕說：「我主，我王！無人幫助他，只有以色列中的先知以利沙，將王在臥房所說的話告訴以色列王了。」13 王說：「你們去探他在哪裏，我好打發人去捉拿他。」有人告訴王說：「他在多坍。」14 王就打發車馬和大軍往那裏去，夜間到了，圍困那城。15 神人的僕人清早起來出去，看見車馬軍兵圍困了城。僕人對神人說：「哀哉！我主啊，我們怎樣行才好呢？」16 神人說：「不要懼怕！與我們同在的比與他們同在的更多。」17 以利沙禱告說：「耶和華啊，求祢開這少年人的眼目，使他能看見。」耶和華開他的眼目，他就看見滿山有火車火馬圍繞以利沙。18 敵人下到以利沙那裏，以利沙禱告耶和華說：「求祢使這些人的眼目昏迷。」耶和華就照以利沙的話，使他們的眼目昏迷。19 以利沙對他們說：「這不是那道，也不是那城；你們跟我去，我必領你們到所尋找的人那裏。」於是領他們到了撒馬利亞。20 他們進了撒馬利亞，以利沙禱告說：「耶和華啊，求祢開這些人的眼目，使他們能看見。」耶和華開他們的眼目，他們就看見了，不料，是在撒馬利亞的城中。21 以色列王見了他們，就問以利沙說：「我父啊，我可以擊殺他們嗎？」22 回答說：「不可擊殺他們！就是你用刀用弓擄來的，豈可擊殺他們嗎？當在他們面前設擺飲食，使他們吃喝回到他們的主人那裏。」23 王就為他們預備了許多食物；他們吃喝完了，打發他們回到他們主人那裏。從此，亞蘭軍不再犯以色列境了。(列王紀下六8-23)
8 Now the king of Aram was at war with Israel. After conferring with his officers, he said, “I will set up my camp in such and such a place.” 9 The man of God sent word to the king of Israel: “Beware of passing that place, because the Arameans are going down there.” 10 So the king of Israel checked on the place indicated by the man of God. Time and again Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in such places. 11 This enraged the king of Aram. He summoned his officers and demanded of them, “Tell me! Which of us is on the side of the king of Israel?” 12 “None of us, my lord the king,” said one of his officers, “but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.” 13 “Go, find out where he is,” the king ordered, “so I can send men and capture him.” The report came back: “He is in Dothan.” 14 Then he sent horses and chariots and a strong force there. They went by night and surrounded the city. 15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked. 16 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 18 As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Strike this army with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked. 19 Elisha told them, “This is not the road and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will lead you to the man you are looking for.” And he led them to Samaria. 20 After they entered the city, Elisha said, “Lord, open the eyes of these men so they can see.” Then the Lord opened their eyes and they looked, and there they were, inside Samaria. 21 When the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “Shall I kill them, my father? Shall I kill them?” 22 “Do not kill them,” he answered. “Would you kill those you have captured with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them so that they may eat and drink and then go back to their master.” 23 So he prepared a great feast for them, and after they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them away, and they returned to their master. So the bands from Aram stopped raiding Israel’s territory. (2 Kings 6:8-23)
分享：我們昨天看到以利沙祈求神的靈加倍地感動他，結果在老師升天後，他果然能憑著神的靈，領受著神的說話，行出各式各樣的奇事；其中一個著名的神蹟便是使亞蘭軍眼目昏迷。
亞蘭王好幾次要伏擊以色列王未果，知道是以利沙洞悉先機，便以大軍圍城，好捉拿這個滿有能力的先知。但以利沙卻對此毫不懼怕，向僕人說：「與我們同在的比與他們同在的更多。」(王下六16下) 又求神開僕人的眼目，「使他能看見」(王下六17)，僕人便看到滿山的火車火馬圍繞以利沙。後來以利沙求耶和華使亞蘭軍「眼目昏迷」，讓他們認不出要捉拿的以利沙，更隨之到了撒馬利亞城中，圍困人的反被困。(參王下六8-23)
還記得那些火車火馬嗎？這在以利亞升天時曾經出現；能夠看見他們，也是以利沙的放膽祈求和得著神的靈感動的憑證。而在這裡，看得到的火車火馬也成為了面對亞蘭軍的信心來源，因為與以利沙同在的更多、更強、更大。大家有注意這裡的吊詭之處嗎？因著渴想神的靈放膽祈求而能看見，也因看見而更增強信心和膽氣，更靠著看得到的幫助為神行更大的奇事。正如以利沙不用祈求上帝改變當下的困境，他所求的不過是看見與看不見而已！
我們要像僕人那樣看見，還是以蘭軍那樣眼目昏迷呢？火車火馬確實在這裡，但我們只關注於身處的困境嗎？我們都有眼睛，但能看見神的工作嗎？就讓我們像見到耶穌的瞎子般，呼求主讓我們眼睛能看見 (參馬太福音廿29-34)，看到神的大能和保護！
反思：類似昨天的問題，面對耶穌問：「要我為你們做甚麼？」，我要我的眼睛能看見嗎？
禱告：親愛的天父，感謝祢透過以利沙的神蹟，提醒我能看見的重要。讓我不要再眼目昏迷，定晴在外在的困境裡，以信心向祢祈求要眼睛能看見，見到祢的「火車火馬」。奉主名求，阿們！
