OPEN UP YOUR EYES AND LOOK

 

John 4:35

 

"Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest." ESV

 

Are we looking up? Or are we plodding along unaware, thinking we need to get our lives in shape so we can serve God? We have to look around us now! There are lost people looking for the Answer we have. We don't travel to the harvest field. We live in the middle of it. We serve now, where we are, with what we have. The Lord will supply all we need. The harvest is ready. Our eyes should be searching for the smallest opportunity to answer His call.

 

Lord, forgive us for going about our daily lives with our eyes closed to the great harvest field of souls that need You. Keep our hearts, minds, and eyes ready to share the Gospel message at all times. In Your great name we pray, Amen.

LOOK AT WHAT?

 

2 Corinthians 4:18

 

"As we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal." ESV 

 

It's natural to look at what our eyes can see, and look only at our situations. Eventually we become fixed on these things. That can be quite depressing sometimes. If we focus our minds eyes on the glorious things of God that are waiting for us in eternity, all the things we see here will seem less unbearable and the things that tempt us won't seem so inviting.

 

Lord, we thank You for our spiritual eyes to see the great and glorious things waiting for us, that You have prepared for us. Help us to keep from getting focused on the temporary things of this world. We pray in Your name, Amen.

WILL THE REAL CHRISTIAN PLEASE STAND UP

 

Proverbs 30:12

 

"There are those who are clean in their own eyes but are not washed of their filth." ESV 

 

Just like Pharisees in Bible times, there are now people who believe they are all right with God and that God is pleased with them. They have never really believed, humbled themselves, confessed their spiritual poverty, and asked Jesus Christ to live in their hearts. We all should take the time to examine ourselves and allow the Lord's light to shine on our lives so we can be real and consistent in our walk with Him.

 

Lord, forgive us for thinking we have achieved holiness and greatness. Give us desire to pray for those who live hypocritical lives that they may see their true poverty and gives their lives totally to You. In Your great name we pray, Amen.

NEVER CHANGING EYES OF GOD

 2 Chronicles 16:9

 

"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him....." ESV 

 

The tender but piercing eyes of God perpetually see us. He never stops noticing. Why do we find ourselves doubting Him like He has forgotten or doesn't care? Have we forgotten that we live in a cursed world? Jesus told us we would have tribulation in this world. He also told us He would never leave us or forsake us. In all our troubles, sorrows, joys, and victories, He is right there with us, never taking His eyes off of us. We can fully trust Him no matter what is going on in our lives.

 

Heavenly Father, how weak we are to question Your faithfulness to us. We give You praise and honor for always having Your eyes on us and preparing us to be with You for eternity. In Jesus' name, Amen.

WANT TO SEE BETTER?

 

2 Corinthians 3:16

 

"But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed." ESV

 

 

Keeping our eyes on the Lord and Him alone, will result in such clarity in understanding of the truth and revelation of God. We will be able to see His true nature and the meaning of His Word. If we take our eyes off Him, the veil will remain over our eyes and hide all these wonderful things from us.

 

Heavenly Father, we pray that You will help us to stay focused on You. We desire to see clearly and know You and Your Word. In Jesus' name, Amen.

GOD'S EYES ARE ON YOU

 

 

Hebrews 4:13

"And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account." ESV

Every person will have to give an account to the living God, both those who believe and those who don't. All actions, thoughts, and secrets are intimately know by Him. Doesn't it seem like a wise thing to make sure all our actions, thoughts, and secrets are brought to Him and covered by His blood?

Heavenly Father, search our innermost being and whatever You find there that is displeasing to You, help us to confess it, repent, and live our lives as Christ did. We pray in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.

HIS EYES ARE ON YOU

There is nothing that escapes the eyes of God. He is intently
watching, scanning, and knowing all things whether open, or
tucked away in the remotest of places. When His eyes behold
a righteous soul, one with honorable intent to please Him, God
will strengthen that one by His mighty power and love.

Read 2 Chronicles 16:9

For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen
those whose hearts are fully committed to him." (NIV)

"For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth,
to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect
toward him." (KJV)
