Look Deeply

June 16, 2013

Open my eyes to see wonderful things in your Word.
–Psalm 119:18 (TLB)

Some, who doubt that the Bible is the true Word of God, doubt it because they are unwilling to ascribe to God anything they cannot themselves achieve. If you have any uncertainty about the inspiration of the Bible, go back and look at it again. Look at it in the light of a person who has been staring at a mud puddle all his life, and who is confronted for the first time by a view of the ocean!

Perhaps you are only now catching your first glimpse of God’s unlimited power. Perhaps you are only now beginning to understand Him for what He actually is. For if God is the Spirit that Jesus declares Him to be, there is no problem of providence, there is no problem of His sovereignty in the affairs of men, there is no problem of His inspiration of the men who wrote the Bible. Everything fits into place, once you understand who and what God really is.

Prayer for the day

My Father and my God, as I read the Scriptures each day, You open my eyes to more of the glories of Your wondrous love.

It is possible to read the Bible with the wrong spirit and not understand much. You must pray for God to open your heart and mind first . Then he will reveal the Great and Marvelous Truths and they will come alive.

People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every Word of God (Matthew 4:4). LORD JESUS, YOU ARE THE LIVING WORD. Your Holy Writ, totally transformed my entire life. With my every breath I'm holding on to Your Precious Living Word..!

I don't doubt God for what he is and what he can do, but most time I feel my sins are not forgiven. By of the way my life is going maybe I am suffering because of my past sins.

Bless You God for Your Holy Word of the Bible! It can and will transform a persons life! I am a living testimony of what the daily washing of The Word can do. I will be clean and sober for six years on August 10, 2011. I will be drug free six years on December 17, 2011. God Almighty has saved me from myself, for this I owe Him my life and this won't be enough.

Dear God, Please let your loving light shine upon me and in your will let me hear good news with my jobs. Things are getting very bad and I need your guidance and will.

Lord help us to see and be wise Your power and offer. Our eyes should be wide open so that we may see and our eyes ready so that we may hear Your words. Your precious love of us is waiting. I open my eyes to You today!

Each time I read the bible something new is revealed. It may even be a passage I have read many times before. It is very important to pray to God prior to reading his Holy Word and ask him to illuminate the great truths contained in it. Many books have been written on life and how to deal with certain situations in life but only the Bible contains God's perfect instruction on everything we will encounter . It may be directly or indirectly but the answer can be found. What an incredibly awesome book. Thank you Lord

Fortpin says 6.15.2011, 12:36 a.m.

Yes, Lord Jesus open my eyes to see the wonderful things You want me to see in your precious Word. Men shall not live by bread alone but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Jesus said my Word is Spirit and my Word is life. Dear Lord, grant me wisdom and understanding, amen.

When we truly open our eyes, we do not run into "things"
