WHY YOUR EYES MUST BE OPEN

Post date: Jul 13, 2016 5:09:18 AM

“Deal bountifully with Your servant, that I may live and keep Your word, treasuring it and being guided by it day by day. Open my eyes to spiritual truth so that I may behold wonderful things from Your law. I am a stranger on the earth; do not hide Your commandments from me. My soul is crushed with longing for Your ordinances at all times. You rebuke the presumptuous and arrogant, the cursed ones, who wander from Your commandments. Take reproach and contempt away from me, for I observe Your testimonies. Even though princes sit and talk to one another against me, Your servant meditates on Your statutes. Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.” Psalm 119:17–24

Not until God open our eyes, we will never be our best and will never attain to the very best that God in His love had destined for us in life. A genuine cry for open eyes is a cry that is necessary and timely in this present day and age; it is a cry that will definitely produce fruits beyond our efforts and will help us fulfill our dreams and visions in life. It is good if we will continually cry Open my eyes oh Lord that I may behold wonderful things in your presence and from your law. After being saved through grace; after having our sins forgiven through genuine repentance; after accepting the love of God in our lives; after trusting in Jesus Christ as our only Lord and savior; after walking in faith all these years, trusting His words and promises; having hope and believing in His love, believers in Jesus Christ will need to walk with spiritually open eyes; we will need to deeply desire our eyes to be divinely open to see both physical and spiritual opportunities so we can have proper understand of how our God is working with and for us and how and what we can and should do to have the life He wants for us; we truly need to pray for our eyes to be open if we will ever fulfill the great commission, have impact in the world the way our Lord wants us to have. God is longing to open our eyes beyond ourselves and beyond our problems.

Not until God open our eyes to see ourselves in the right way, we will never appreciate what God had implanted in us and we will never appreciate Him enough for His marvelous work in us. Not until God opens our eyes to see, we will continue we walk in blindness and making unthinkable mistakes even physically open eyes; not until God opens our eyes, we will continue to be limited in all things including his available resources; not until God open our eyes, we will continue to be ruled and driven by unfounded fears, threats from people and human uncertainties. Not until God open our eyes to see, we will continue to lack the proper understanding of His words and what He requires us to do in life. Not until God open our eyes to see, we will continue to miss divine opportunities in winning souls, in preaching the truth, in living the truth, and in sharing the truth. Not until God open our eyes, we will never be able to take a firm stand on issues that affects our faith and our relationship with Jesus Christ. God desires to have our eyes open.

Without believers walking and living with spiritually open eyes, the devil will continuously rub us of the things that God had already given to us; he will continuously cheat us in rights; he will cunningly make us his willing agents and instruments for wickedness; he will make us follow his lies and do his bidding accepting them as real and true; he will want to make us like Judas and Ananias; he will make us his spokesperson in ungodliness and shame; he will stain our true relationship with our Father in heaven, and he will destroy our expectations in life. Not until God opens our eyes we will not be able to differentiate what is Holy or profane; we will not be able to communicate with His Spirit concerning our needs in prayers. Not until God open our eyes, we will not see or understand His instructions even when we read them often. There are wonderful things in God's words that can change us profoundly, empower holiness, faith, hope, love and also encourage us to rely on, trust in and follow Him in true obedience. God can open our eyes through His supernatural power to begin seeing His wonderful works right now. Click here for prayer
