Savior, Please Help Me to SEE

“The Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.” [1]

The Lord Jesus by His sacrifice on the cross made a way for me to enter a better Promised Land than the Israelites did when He brought them out of Egypt. By faith in Christ, I escape for eternity the dark kingdom of the oppressive devil and am brought by Christ into the Heavenly Father’s glorious Kingdom to live forever.

“He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and did not destroy them. Yes, many a time He turned His anger away, and did not stir up all His wrath; for He remembered that they were but flesh, a breath that passes away and does not come again. How often they provoked Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert!” [2]

I am so glad that the Lord is full of compassion. I am so glad that He forgives my sins, but I do not want to neglect such a great salvation by forgetting to thank, obey and serve Him.

Jesus once said, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.” Some Pharisees asked Him, “Are we blind also?” Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore, your sin remains.” [3]

“Thank You Lord Jesus for making me and others aware by Your Word of our blind spots so that we look to You, the Light of the World, and You help us to SEE."
