"Having eyes, do you not see"
We all have moments when we think we know the problem, but it's not that. In Mark 8:14-21, the disciples thought the problem was a lack of bread, but Jesus corrected them by saying, "Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear?" The real problem was a need for more sight.
““The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.” ”
Helen Keller once said, "The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision." Keller was deaf-blind and still earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, author 12 books, co-founded the American Civil Liberties Union, and travelled to over 39 countries to promote awareness and improve conditions for people with disabilities.
When we can't see, it's the same as not having, but it may not be that we don't have. We just can't see it. Jesus came to open our eyes to new opportunities and possibilities.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon Jesus, and He has come to heal the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind (Luke 4:18). Jesus can open our eyes to the opportunities, people, and power within us. We can see, but we can't see. We need to look with the eyes of faith and remember the Word and what God has done in our lives.
We should start to pray, "God, open my eyes." Look at our lives with the eyes of the spirit and see what has always been there. Sometimes, we must be grateful for what we have instead of complaining. We must be open to the possibilities and believe people can be saved.
In conclusion, let us not only have eyes but also vision. May God open our eyes to see His plans for us and the opportunities around us.
