Psalm 119:18

Scripture: 

Psalm 119:18  “Open my eyes, that I may behold Wonderful things from Your law.” (NASB)

Observation:

When I really looked at him, I saw the problem. After the third time I washed his windows, it occurred to me that there was another problem. The elderly man said the windows looked dirty and asked if could I do them again. Today's scripture speaks of God opening our eyes that we may see His wonders. After the third attempt to make the gentleman happy, I took a good look at him. Then I noticed it. I asked him a simple question, “May I see your glasses?” He handed them to me. As I looked at them, I realized the problem wasn't his windows, but his own glasses. They were filthy.  Once cleaned, he could see the world more clearly.

Sometimes in life, we may look, but not really see. Just glancing at the Bible instead of taking the time to read it and meditate upon it or looking at someone and not really seeing the beauty that lays within them, we make judgments without really seeing the person inside. Let's make sure our own glasses are clean, and if you don't wear glasses, let's make sure our eyes are wide open to the truth in God's Word and the people around us.  

Application:

1) Think about what you just read.

2) Ask the Holy Spirit for clarity and insight.

3) Share this with someone who would benefit from reading it.

4) Make sure others see Jesus in YOU today.
