Signs of the of Times

From an article in
The Australian Baptist
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

It is often charged against Christians that they are idealistic and unrealistic. It is said that they look at things as they ought to be and not as they are. That is a [false] charge. Elisha is one proof that it is. He knew before he went out to take a look that the hills round Dothan were covered by horsemen and footsoldiers of the king of Syria, but he also knew that the same hills were filled with the presence and power of God.

The truth is that the man who believes in God does look at things as they are. Because he is a believer, he can dare and bear to look at them, but he also looks through and beyond them to see God and the resources He makes available.
