BLIND OR DEAF?
"Listen you who are deaf! Look and see, you blind! (Isa. 42:18,NLT) When I read this the first time, the obvious question was, "How can someone who is deaf be asked to listen? And someone who is blind, be asked to look and see? But I realized that there was more in there. It was not just talking about physical deafness or blindness, but one which was spiritual. Of a truth many people walk with their eyes and ears widely opened but can not see or hear God. Some of us are being shown deep things but we are failing to act. "You see and recognize what is right but refuse to act on it. You hear with your ears, but you don't really listen."(V 20) We behave as though we want God to send us some spiritual eye lense or hearing aid, so we can hear and see what He is doing and saying. Just as Elisha asked God to open the eyes of his servant to see the host of angels that had surrounded them, I pray for you too that, the eyes of your understanding be enlightened. Are you still blind or deaf? AB@TWD
