OPEN EYES MAKE US OPEN TO GOD

last night i said the phrase, ‘Open Eyes Make Us Open To God’.

How do you *see* God opening your eyes?  to what? to who? to where?

Our awakening to God must include seeing - where our awareness is limited–we may very well miss the God work around  us. So, WHAT ARE YOU SEEING?  In what ways have you been aware of God smearing mud, sending you to the water to wash, and now peering into the world with different eyes?

Read again John 9 - what continues to resonate?

Read Numbers 13 - the story of Joshua & Caleb is certainly about SEEING.  Isn’t it tragic that the others spies in the story are confident that they are seeing - both the promise lands abundance and the overwhelming of their tribe by the warriors already in the land.  These spies truly believe that they should not go in the land because of what they’ve seen.  Don’t we all believe we SEE.  However, the great contrast in the story is J&C - absolutely SEEING that God will lead the way.

What way of the Kingdom has yet to be expressed in our lives, in this city, in the brokeness of the global slums do to our LACK OF SEEING?
