Truth as a Guide
How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thought and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?—Psalm 13:1–2 (NIV)
For this people’s heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.—Matthew 13:15-16 (ESV)
JUST BECAUSE YOUR eyes are open doesn’t mean that you can see. You must open your awareness to see God in the everyday blessings that are often overlooked. All good things are made from the Lord. Today slow down and take notice of the many ways He shines His light on your life.
Heavenly Father, today I will keep my eyes open and see the many ways You bless me.
