Do You Have Hearing Ears and Seeing Eyes?

Do You Have Hearing Ears and Seeing Eyes?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who are blessed with hearing and sight. In Jesus’s name, amen.

In the fifth grade, a teacher asked, “Have you ever had your eyes checked.”

I said, “No.”

My first glasses changed everything. I could see, so I could read.

Proverbs 20:12 (ESV) is about who gives us our senses.

“The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
the Lord has made them both.”

Be thankful for your senses. Take time to marvel at what the Lord has done by giving us the gift of hearing and sight.

Do not overlook the idea that the Lord can use our hearing ears and our seeing eyes to allow us to learn more about Him.

Vanity Fair!

Vanity Fair!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for believers who want to stay away from the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life. In Jesus’ name, amen.

John Bunyan in The Pilgrim’s Progress wrote about how temptations come in all forms. In that novel, he wrote about the town called Vanity Fair to illustrate his point.

1 John 2:15-16 (ESV) has a message about the enticements of the world:

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.”

Believers’ citizenship is in heaven. Philippians 3:20 says,

“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Don’t be tempted and trapped by the love of the world.
