“But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it” (Matthew 13:16-17).
Blessed are those who do not see and yet believe. This wicked generation is always looking for a sign. Even if they are given one in the flesh, they want another one. You have seen and heard. Stop being disbelieving but believe that God’s salvation has been revealed to you. Be guided by the words of eternal life and no longer reject what the Lord has given you. Everything points to Jesus and He has introduced Himself to you.
Holy Spirit, too often my mind races in many different directions. I will hear something I want to hear and no matter how false it is, I will believe it. I will hear the truth and if I do not want to believe it, I won’t. Strip me of the confusion and clear my soul so that I recognize truth and reject the lie. Open my ears and eyes to live with the understanding that things truly are the way they are regardless of how I feel about the way things are.
Lord, help me to hear the truth You speak. Open my ears to hear Your commands and then help me, Holy Spirit, to obey them. In all I do, may I be guided by You, LORD, the One who knows the beginning from the end. Let me not be hard-hearted, but pliable in Your hands. Lead me on the narrow way of everlasting life. Guide me always in Your goodness and mercy that Your will be done in me. Amen.
