Day 7: Blinded By The Truth

FREEDOM~

To See

To Hear

To Taste

To Touch

To Smell.

The FREEDOM

to use our senses in whatever way we like~

but is that really

FREEDOM?

Eve

SAW

a juicy red apple hanging from a forbidden tree.

Eve

HEARD

the tempter's words giving her permission.

Eve

TOUCHED

and picked it from the tree.

Eve

TASTED

the forbidden fruit.

Eve

LEARNED

a lesson that day about what FREEDOM is not.

David

SAW

a beautiful woman who wasn't his wife.

David

HEARD

her name was Bathsheba and that she was married.

David

TOUCHED

something that was not his.

David

TASTED

the fruit of a choice gone bad.

David

LEARNED

a lesson that day about what FREEDOM is not.

Saul

HEARD

the voice of the One whom he was persecuting~

“Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” I am JESUS, whom you are persecuting” (Acts 9).

Saul

SAW

that he couldn't see the moment he was blinded.

Saul was

TOUCHED

by the hands of Ananias so that he could see again.

Saul

TASTED

FREEDOM.

Saul

LEARNED

a lesson that day about what

FREEDOM IS~

the power of

Being

SEEN

Being

HEARD

Being

TOUCHED

by

JESUS

in the midst of when he was acting senseless.

Saul

LEARNED

to

TRUST

and to

FOLLOW

the

ONE

who reached down and

TOUCHED

his heart

setting him FREE~

"If the SON sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36)

transforming him

from

Saul to Paul~

The Paul

who was now

FREE

F.earless

R.edeemed

E.ternally

E.nlightened

The Paul who penned the words

"Whatever you have

learned

or received

or heard

from me,

or seen in me—

put it into practice.

And the GOD of peace will be with you" (Philippians 4:9)

Because

he came to his senses

the moment

JESUS

ignited his senses.

In what area of your life do you need JESUS to ignite your senses?

What do you need to learn, to receive to hear, to see differently today

so that

HIS peace will set you FREE?

So let's be

BLINDED BY THE TRUTH

&

"TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS"
