To See or Not to See

Have you ever noticed when we ignore something it still doesn’t go away? Likewise if we neglect to address an issue or concern, it tends to get worse? I can look back at a particular time in my life and honestly say, I saw the truth in that situation but I didn’t want to see it. I knew if I acknowledged it, I would have to confront it, and back then, I did not like confrontation.

The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous, Psalms 146:8. When we join the Body of Christ, God is obligated to begin the sanctification process in us and part of that process is to open our eyes to the truth. When we were in the world, not only were we enemies of God, but we were blinded to His truths. Now that the blinders have come off we should stop ignoring those things in us that may cause us to err against God or even cause others to err.

God not only said He will open our eyes, but He will also raise us up when we worship Him. It’s in those times of worship that He will allow us to see things we never saw before, so please let us not neglect times of individual worship. The more we worship Him, the more He will reveal. We should never shy away from confrontation, especially when our motives in confronting a person are pure. Ummm.

To see or not to see; which will it be!

Your thoughts?

  1. Worship is so important! Everything goes back to time management which God first called me out on during my Dominincan Republic Missionary Trip in 2010 - thank you for keeping in remembrance.
