2 Kings 6
列王纪下6章
15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, alas, my master! how shall we do?
15神人的仆人清早起来出去,看见车马军兵围困了城。仆人对他说,哀哉,我主阿。我们该怎么办
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
16耶稣回答说,不要惧怕,与我们同在的比与他们同在的更多。
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
17以利沙祷告说,主阿,求你开这少年人的眼目,使他能看见。耶和华开他的眼目、他就看见满山有火车火马围绕以利沙。

Are you in a situation like Elisha and Gehazi? Do you feel overwhelmed? Like there is no way out?
你的处境像以利沙和基哈西一样吗?你会感到不知所措吗就像没有出路一样?
In this passage, Elisha looked through the eyes of faith; Gehazi looked through the eyes of fear.
在这段经文中,以利沙透过信心的眼睛看;基哈西透过敬畏的眼睛看。
Note some things here: Elisha rose early. Early morning prayer and communion with God is the best time to experience Gods presence, and if you are looking to have a good day, start it off with a time of worship and fellowship with almighty God.
注意这里的一些事情:以利沙很早就起来了。清晨祷告和与神交通是体验神同在的最佳时间,如果你希望有美好的一天,那就从敬拜和与全能的神交通开始吧。
Elisha encouraged Gehazi with the words, “Fear Not.” Gehazi viewed the situation through the lens of fear, something that most of us tend to do when confronted with a problem that appears to be too great for us to overcome. Gehazi uses the word Alas, when we say that in English it’s like, Oh! What’s going to become of us? We are doomed! He was very discouraged and thought that there was no hope in this situation. When the coronavirus hit, a lot of people were saying, “alas!” But we know that God is greater than any foe, and when we trust Him, we move from fear to faith.
以利沙鼓励基哈西说:“不要惧怕。”格哈齐透过恐惧的镜头来看待这件事,我们大多数人在面对一个似乎对我们来说太大而无法克服的问题时都会这样做。基哈西用这个词唉,当我们用英语说这句话的时候,天啊!我们会变成什么样我们完了!他非常气馁,认为在这种情况下是没有希望的。当冠状病毒来袭时,很多人都在说,“唉!”但我们知道神比一切仇敌都大,当我们信靠祂时,我们就从恐惧转向信心。
It says that Elisha prayed. And his prayer is a lesson for you and I to consider when facing our own trials. Elisha prayed,
据说以利沙祷告了。他的祷告是你我面对试炼时的功课。以利沙祷告说,
‘
Lord, I pray thee, open his (Gehazi) eyes, that he may see.’
‘主啊,求你开他(基哈西)的眼睛,使他能看见
So often when we encounter believers who are overwhelmed, counsel may not be effective because they are paralyzed by fear. The best thing to do in that case is not to argue or become frustrated, but to pray and ask God to open their eyes. This is a prayer that God is pleased to answer. Not only will He open their eyes, He will open up a way for them to escape and overcome every trial.
所以,当我们经常遇到信徒不知所措的时候,劝告可能不会有效,因为他们被恐惧麻痹了。在这种情况下,最好的办法不是争辩或沮丧,而是祷告,求神开他们的眼睛。这是神乐意回答的祷告。祂不仅要开他们的眼睛,也要为他们开一条出路,使他们得以逃脱,胜过每一次试炼。
When in trouble-pray like Elisha. “Lord, open my eyes that I may see.”
在患难中……像以利沙一样祷告……‘主啊,开我的眼睛,使我能看见’。
