Journeying through life, we find we are blind to so many things. Much of our education is trial and error. God has revealed Himself in our conscience and through creation, but we refuse to let the light in. He gives us experience after experience that should make us fall down before Him, but it doesn’t happen. We give up, but he doesn’t, because He loves us.
Case in point was the nation of Israel during their wilderness journey:
Deuteronomy 29:4-6
But to this day the Lord has not given you a mind that understands or eyes that see or ears that hear. Yet the Lord says, “During the forty years that I led you through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet. You ate no bread and drank no wine or other fermented drink. I did this so that you might know that I am the Lord your God.”
The hymn writer expressed it this way:
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
You have the key in your hand. Start unlocking the doors of Scripture. In every book He has a blessing just for you.
How do I know it’s possible? You’re still here.
Give it some thought.
