Open Our Eyes

Our Daily Devotional:

Open Our Eyes

2 Kings 6:17 NIV: And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant´s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

I once saw a man talking with a woman, and another man came and stood between the two and began talking to the woman. This infuriated the first man who was now looking at the back of the second man´s head. The worse part was that the second man seemed completely oblivious to his actions-and it was not the first time. It´s easy to take people for granted, or treat them as though they do not exist. We may not even mean to. But for some reason or another, we, in some fashion, turn our backs to them-paying them no attention-seeing only what we want to. Consider how easy it is to disregard the devil. We know how easy it is to pay no heed to those we can see, how much easier those we cannot? Scripture tells us that, "Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" (1 Pt.5:8). While, with God, we do not need to fear our enemy, we should be ever so careful never to turn our back on him. He is real, and the destruction he brings surrounds us. May God give us eyes to see what we must, and wisdom to act on it.

The Master´s Return

The Master´s Return

Luke 12:38 NIV: It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night.

Time ticks on. The end is nearer. We mark our days by usual occurrences, and frequently give little thought to the fact that today could be our last day on this earth. So focused are we on the events of today, that the certainty of our Lord´s return often escapes our attention. And while we must continue each day to work and live and continue on; we must also keep watch, for we do not know when the Master will return. His return is imminent. His return is certain. We must make no mistake. In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus told his disciples to watch and pray so that they would not fall into temptation. This is the charge to us as well-to watch and pray so that we do not fall to temptation-so that we will be watching steadfastly for the Masters return.

Get Inspired

Our Daily Devotional:

Get Inspired

2 Timothy 3:16-17 NAS: All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

I have heard well intentioned people express to me, through a tone of regret, that they just cannot get themselves to sit and read the Bible, or that it´s too difficult for them to understand. But I have never heard a Christian tell me that he or she spends enough time reading and studying the Word of God. So the question is: How do we get inspired to spend time in God´s Word? I´m not sure I know the best answer to that. Perhaps it is one of those things that once you begin to feel the effect of it, you simply crave it more. Maybe that is oversimplifying it a bit. But one thing I know: there is an indescribable joy when God brings back to mind, scripture you have committed to heart. There is an excitement stirred when you hear someone quoting a scripture that has touched or changed your life. There are wonderful treasures that wait for us within the Words that the God of the universe desires to speak to us. And once we commit to open His Word like a treasure chest-it is then that His treasure will be revealed.
