Eyes to see...


My wife has been having some problems with her eyes lately. Nothing serious, just having a hard time seeing, especially when reading. She made an appointment with an optometrist and found that her eyes had actually improved since she got her contacts, so the prescription was no longer what it should be – it was actually too strong.

We have a lady from church that had cataracts removed several weeks ago, but still hasn’t got a new prescription for her glasses, so she is going without glasses, and also has a very hard time seeing – especially when reading.

These ladies are fortunate about one thing; at least they can see spiritual things. They are both good at seeing things that others can’t. They can see God at work.

It is true that some can see better than others – some can see physical things better than others; some can see spiritual things better than others.

Jesus wrote that some people have ears but cannot hear, and eyes but cannot see. These people can’t see spiritual things.

I think you have to be aligned with the Holy Spirit just right to be able to see spiritual things. These two ladies have a gift – God has enabled them to see things others can’t.

But I think this is a gift that’s available to everyone. You just have to be aligned with the Holy Spirit. You have to be submitted to God’s will, loving the Lord with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind.

Submit to God, and love him above all others, and he will give you eyes to see!
