Elisha’s servant was not wrong in what he saw. He and Elijah were surrounded by an army. The problem with Elijah’s servant was his perspective. Elisha wasn’t concerned about the army. He knew who was with him. He knew that God was with Him, and that God had his back. The servant was only looking at things from a natural perspective instead of looking at things from a spiritual perspective. We have all made that mistake. Instead of looking to God and to what His Word says, we are looking at the circumstances. You cannot look at both. It is okay to acknowledge the situation. Elisha didn’t say the army didn’t exist. He just chose to put His eyes on something else. He chose to focus on the answer, not the problem. When it comes to dealing with negative circumstances, we must choose to focus on what God has said instead of the lies of the enemy. The things that are seen are temporary. The things that are not seen are eternal. If there is nothing too hard for God, then there is nothing too hard for His Word. God and His Word are one.
