Seeing Eyes

HAVE you ever been in a situation where you searched for a thing and couldn't find it despite it being in front of you?

Eyes that look are many, but eyes that see are few.

GOD had told Balaam not to go with Balak to put a curse on his people because they were blessed.

But when he went with the Moabites, an angel with a sword stood in his way.

When his donkey saw the angel, it pressed Balaam’s feet against the wall, and when the donkey wouldn't move, he beat it.

Then, God gave the donkey a voice and opened his eyes. (Numbers 22)

When we cannot see, we take our frustrations out on other people and frown at them.

If God wants to save you from yourself, He opens your eyes, and when he wants to help you, he makes you see yourself in the pages of his scriptures. (Psalm 119:18)

GOD opened Hagar’s eyes when she and her son ran out of water in the wilderness.

Then she saw a well, where she filled her bottle with water and gave it to her son to drink. (Genesis 21:19-21)

God will open your eyes to show you a way of escape.

PETER found an escape when an angel of the Lord led him out of prison.

He thought he was in a vision and followed the angel, unaware that it was real. But when the angel left him, Peter came to his senses. (Acts 12:5-17)

His natural senses were dulled for the supernatural to kick in.

God will open your eyes to counsel you. (Psalm 16:7)

GOD did this at Bethel when Jacob slept, and he allowed his angels s go up and down on a ladder.

Jacob rose and said, “How fearful and awesome is this place, this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gateway to heaven.” (Genesis 28:17)

GOD opened Pharaoh’s eyes in his dreams.

When he couldn't understand the dreams, he was troubled and sent for his wisemen.

And when they couldn't interpret the dreams, he was frustrated, but the cupbearer remembered Joseph.

SOMETIMES, God creates scenarios that only you can fill. So your delay isn't a rejection but a decision.

During Lazarus’ illness, Jesus waited another two days before he went to Bethany.

He stayed back to give them a special testimony. God wrote his story. (John 11)

God will open your eyes and your ears to reveal secrets.

The KING OF ARAM (Syria) had been furious with his men because whatever plan he discussed with them, the King of Israel knew it.

None of us, my lord the king,” said one of his officers, “but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.”

So he sent soldiers on horses to Dothan to surround the city where Elisha lived.

When Elisha’s servant saw the soldiers, he was afraid. But Elisha prayed, and God opened his eyes (2 Kings 6)

God will open your eyes, so you, in turn, will open your heart.

HE OPENED Isaiah’s eyes, and he, in turn, opened his heart.

And when God asked for someone to send, he said, “Send me.” (Isaiah 6)

God will open your eyes so that you can find your place in His plan.

THERE are thresholds you cannot cross until your eyes are opened; doors you cannot access until you see.

My prayer for you is that God will open your eyes that you may see and comprehend his plan for your life.

PAUL and his companions had travelled through Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching in Asia.

During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him to come and help. (Acts 16:6-10)

God wants to open your eyes, to help you align with His Will.

‘There are doors you cannot access until you see'

Final Thought

GOD will make you see so that he can instruct you.

We do not understand and then obey, that's instruction. We obey, and then understand, that’s illumination — Warren W. Wiersbe.
