Mark 8:22-25<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nReflection<\/h5>\n
We like to be right. We like to know that we see clearly. The first time I couldn’t read a pill bottle with my glasses on I freaked out. It was my first experience not really being able to see. Yes, I know what it’s like without my glasses but this was a new experience.<\/p>\n
The man in the story believed, but he needed more Jesus. How many times do we go around thinking we know God’s word but really it’s men looking like trees?<\/p>\n
Our first experience may not be enough.we need more prayer and mote communion with him. I have seen so many who believe but only partly, or only in Sunday, or only on paper. They aren’t blind but don’t see clearly.<\/p>\n
I can take my glasses off to read through pill bottle now that I know what’s causing it. Can you take off your spiritual glasses when your vision isn’t clear?<\/p>\n
I look forward to eyes that can see and a heart that can spiritually see the truth.<\/p>\n
Charge<\/h5>\n
How is your vision? Can you see or do you need a new pair of spiritual glasses? Think about your actions and responses to situations. Is that how Jesus would want you to behave? Maybe you need a checkup<\/p>\n
Lord, help me to see clearly. Help me to know I can come to you for a spiritual eye check-up at any time<\/p>\n
