Watch how you are being formed. The way you allow yourself to be shaped will determine how you interpret facts, data, and even the Bible itself. We see life and all things through the way we have let our eyes develop. We want to make the way we see things as the ultimate truth, when we are all far too subjective to make such a claim. We need to examine ourselves and be aware of why we see things the way we do. Our eyes, unaided by the revelation of God in Messiah, will lead us astray. We need the Spirit to remove the cataracts and give us focus.
“Open my eyes that I may see, glimpses of truth Thou hast for me. Place in my hands the wonderful key that shall unclasp and set me free. Silently now I wait for Thee, ready my God, Thy will to see. Open my eyes illumine me, Spirit divine.” -Clara H. Scott (1841-1897).
