DAILY?READINGS: Exodus 9; Psalm 40-41; Acts 4:1-31
Elisha prayed…Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. 2 Kings 6:17
We have eyes but we may not always see what the Lord wants us to see. Eve saw the forbidden fruit and desired it (Gen. 3:6). Aachan saw the accursed Babylonian garment, the gold and silver, and he coveted them (Josh. 7:21). Both sinned against God. Death was the consequence—for the former it was spiritual death (Gen. 2:17), for the latter, physical death (Josh. 7:25). For humanity’s disobedience, Jesus became man and was obedient unto death even to that of the cross, so that we might be saved. Do you see that? —K. C. Ung
Open mine eyes, dear Saviour, now, open mine eyes to see,
The well of Thy full salvation that sparkles and flows for me.
—Fanny J. Crosby
