Strength in Surrender
Then Samson prayed to the Lord, “Sovereign Lord, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more…”—Judges 16:28 (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.

Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.—Matthew 5:17 (NIV)
The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.—1 Timothy 1:14 (NIV)
