Open My Eyes
Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.
Psalm 119:18
When I hear the word “law”, I recall other words like, strict, constrained, abuse, captivity – basically, the opposite of freedom. It’s refreshing to see how the Bible calls God’s law as wonderful. God’s law is here to protect me. It gives me comfort in knowing that I’ll be doing the right thing. It gives me guidance that I’m heading in the right direction.
So how do I follow God’s law? Just open my eyes. Open my eyes so I can see God’s miracles. Open my eyes so I can see God’s here to help us. Open my eyes so I can see God’s purpose for my life.
Like Jesus’ parable of the leper, Mark 1:40-45, I probably would not be able to contain my joy and happiness when Jesus heal my sickness. I would shout it out to the world. Tell everyone. God’s miracle has to be shared. God needs to be known.
When my eyes are open, my heart is open. When I receive God in my heart, I’ll have no trouble sharing Him to the world.
