Good Morning, It's A Wonderful Worshipful, Wednesday!! Sometimes, we look at the world with a sort of spiritual blindness,...unaware of what we are missing. We may fail to see that our remarks and actions cause people to feel hurt or humiliated. We miss the need that cries out in the faces of others. We are like the blind man who, when he was partially healed, could see people; but they looked like moving trees. But when the man came back to Christ again, he was enabled to see clearly.
I can see people, but they look like trees, walking.—Mark 8:24 (NRSV)
To see clearly, we also need Christ's help. Day by day we need to ask, "Lord, what do You see that we are missing?" Jesus saw generosity in a widow's gift,...and greed hidden behind pious faces, and long prayers. He saw God's care for us, in God's care for a tiny sparrow. In the needy, the naked, the prisoner, the stranger, He saw people longing to be welcomed.
Loving eyes see the world most clearly.
Father God, help us to see the world through the eyes of our Savior, and to go where His vision leads. Amen.
"The LORD is your shepherd,
...so why whould you ever need to worry."
