"Do not let your live your life in spiritual blindness. Keep God a priority in your life." Pastor Pat Aman Then I got to thinking am I where I should be in my walk with God. Am I blind to the world around me and the service God has called me into. (St. John 9: 37-38), "Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talked with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him." This is a story of blindness. A man had been born blind, forced to spend his entire life begging his livelihood. Then one day Jesus put clay on his eyes, sent him to wash, and he saw! I wonder why nobody, at all, praised God! Was it because they were too preoccupied with their won concerns to recognize God at work among them? The disciples were wrapped up in a theological question: Why was this man born blind? The Pharisees were worried by a legal question: What authority had Jesus to heal, especially on the Sabbath? The man's parents were anxious about a personal issue: How can we avoid being ostracized by the synagogue? Even the man himself was initially concerned only with what had happen to him. This is a story of blindness, all right. Everybody in it is blind, to Jesus. Yet there He is, restoring sight! I am blind sometimes too, so preoccupied with other issues that I fail to see the work of God around me. One person in this story give me hope. The man who was once blind finally sees who Jesus really is. Immediately he worships Him. If I focus my own eyes on who Jesus is, will I be able to see what God is doing in the world and in my life, and praise Him for it. Father God, as I turn my eyes to You, heal my blindness that I may praise You for all You good works. In Jesus Name I Pray Amen and Amen
