EYES TO SEE

I believe in Christ like I believe in the sun, not just because I see it, but because by it I can see everything else. --C.S. Lewis

Psalm 119:18, Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

My son got a new smartphone recently. He should me his camera and boy can that thing zoom in on an object. He showed me spot in a pasture and then zoomed in on the spot. WOW! It was a cow! With his phone, I had eyes to see the makings of a beautiful steak!

Hey friend, God is real and if you believe His Word in faith, you too will have eyes to see Him!

A FRESH VIEW OF JESUS

            Jesus Christ is light to the eye, honey to the taste, music to the ear, joy to the heart. –Spurgeon

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6

            Many times we get in the ruts of life. We feel as if we can’t do anything right. We can’t seem to mark off another item on the “To Do” list. It gets us in a state of depression that if not taken care of will lead to health problems!

            I have found when I get a fresh view of my Saviour I can get things done! I see how He helped the woman at the well. I see how He healed one with palsy. I see how He saved souls. It is when we get our eyes back on Him and His grace we find out that we cannot do anything without Him anyway!

            Are you battling an uphill battle of unaccomplished tasks? Is depression breathing down your neck keeping you from rejoicing in your Saviour? Invest some time in the Word today! Seek Him in the Word getting a fresh view of His grace! It will help you get out of the rut of life and back on the run for the Lord!

I NEED TO SEE JESUS!

            Give us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for, because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything. --Peter Marshall

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: Psalm 146:8

            Oh that we might always see the way to go for the Lord. Unfortunately, there are things keeping us from seeing which way to go. When I boil it all down I find two reasons we are blinded to God’s way; Sin and Sovereignty. When we have unconfessed sin in our lives God’s way is blurred. It’s blurred because He does not hear our prayers. It’s blurred because He will not condone sin. It’s blurred because God is holy and He wants us to be holy as well.

            The second reason is God’s sovereignty. Sometimes, God wants us to trust Him more. It’s not that we don’t but it’s when our faith needs to be deepened. It’s a time to hear what the Spirit is trying to teach us. It is a time we need to get focused a little more on the Saviour. It’s a time when doors are closed, and we need to get alone to see Jesus in His Word.

            Are you in a time when you need to see Jesus? He isn’t that far away! Open His Word and start reading. It won’t be long until He shows up in your life!
