Day 21: Seeing is Believing
Have you ever played the game
Blind Man's Bluff~
Trusting the one who is guiding you
Or
Follow the Leader~
Following the one who is leading you
Or
Marco Polo~
Listening to the one who is calling your name?
Well I did
& I would cheat
when
playing Marco Polo...
Not only because I didn't want to smash my head into the side of the pool,
because I was swimming with my eyes closed,
but also because I wanted to win.
Cheating to Win
Hmm
Does that mean I really be would the winner?
Playing Blind Games of Trust
Blindness~
The Blind Man
Whose eyes Jesus touched and asked~
“Do you see anything?”
The blind man responded:
“I see people; they look like trees walking around.”
The Blind Man~
still focused on his blurred vision instead of
on the One who made him see.
Jesus had to touch him a second time~
"Once more Jesus put His hands on the man’s eyes.
Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly." Mark 8
No longer seeing trees!
This wasn't a game
He was blind and now he sees
Life isn't a game~
I was blind
because I was so focused on
the trees~
on what I could see ,
which made me
cheat my way through life
by trusting other things to help me see.
But now I see
because I reached out and touched the
One
Who sees beyond the trees
and
Who takes me beyond my blurred vision
when I
Trust
Believe
&
Listen
to Him~
Not once
Not twice
but
Always!
The Trees~
trusting what you can see and not Who you can't.
What "tree" blinds you from seeing and experiencing all Who Jesus is?
Is it a person, place or thing?
Let's
Fast
from
The Trees~
every time your
"Tree"
blocks your vision
Reach out and
Trust
Believe
&
Listen
to
the One
Who hung on a tree
so
that you can see~
We walk by Faith not by sight. II Corinthians 5:2
