DAILY READINGS: Exodus 21:1-36; Psalms 62:1-63:11; Acts 11:19-30

Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. Psalm 119:18

We have eyes but do we see? The physical eyes of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus were open but their spiritual “eyes were holden that they should not know him” (Luke 24:16). Our eyes may be open to
read God’s Word, but we fail to grasp the personal messages God is trying to pass on to us. We come away none the better because we fail to see. If this is so, pray David’s prayer above, and start all over again. —K. C. Ung

Open my eyes, that I may see,
Glimpses of truth, Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key,
That shall unclasp and set me free. —Clara H. Scott
