“And he looked up and said, “I see men, for I see them like trees, walking around.” Then again He laid His hands on his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and began to see everything clearly. And He sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter the village” (Mark 8:24-26).
How apt a description of the truth of this age, “Men walking like trees.” We cannot see the forest for the tree. The Lord restores sight to the blind. This is not just physically seeing, but seeing things as they are. When we see that our Lord is leading us, we all do well to listen to His specific instructions. The Lord saves us and must lead us from where we are to where we need to be.
Lord, I hear clearly in Scripture that there are those who listen to You and obey and those who hear your word and do not obey. You have a reason for everything. Help me to not get lost in this world because I do not heed Your word. Lead me from where I am to where I need to be and help me to hear the words You speak and put them into practice. Guide me Lord now and always.
Lord Jesus, I know I need Your saving grace. Where I am not seeing clearly, clear my vision. When You give me a command, help me to obey that command without commentary, wavering, or by taking another path. Restore my heart so that I live in the truth for which You have saved me. Guide me along right paths for Your name’s sake and take me from where I am to where I need to be. Amen.
