Is seeing believing?

Can you trust your senses? Elisha’s servant failed to see the armies of heaven surrounding the Arameans until God opened his eyes. (2Ki 6:17) Later the Lord caused the Aramean army to hear the sound of chariots and horses that did not exist. In fear of what they heard they panicked and fled. (2Ki 7:6) We tend to trust what we can see, hear, taste, touch and smell. Clearly the senses are not the ultimate measure of reality. They are subject to the Lord’s will. Father give me eyes to see and ears to hear that I might perceive the truth. (Deu 29:4, Mat 13:13)
