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.

God Created You and Me!

God Created You and Me!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know your hands have made and fashioned me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

One of the great demarcations in modern society can be found in the first words of the Bible, Genesis 1:1 (ESV).

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

This verse separates those who acknowledge God’s role in creation and those who do not.

Psalm 139:13 (ESV) says,

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.”

Psalm 119:73 (ESV) also starts off recognizing God is a personal creator.

“Your hands have made and fashioned me;
give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.”

Where are you with your thoughts about God creating heaven and earth? Do you accept God personally knit you together in your mother’s womb, and that his hands made and fashioned you? If so, rejoice. If not, ask God to show you He is real.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know you knitted them together in their mother’s womb. In Jesus’ name, amen.

God is omniscient. The synonyms for “omniscient” include all-knowing and all-seeing.

Psalm 139:13-16 (ESV) is about how each person is wonderfully made.

“For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made,
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.”

We have so many days to live. Why not make the most of them? You can. Trust God. James 4:8 (ESV) says, “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”

Keep the faith.

Idol Worship?

Idol Worship?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for believers who want to reach those who spend their time worshipping images made with human hands.

Idols are real. Ever enter an Asian restaurant and see a stature of Buddha?

Psalm 115:4-8 (ESV) describes idols and makes a person wonder what their worshipers see in them.

“Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
They have mouths, but do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
Those who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.”

Pray. If given the opportunity, share your faith with someone who worships an idol. Never underestimate the power of idols to replace the living God in your own life. Is there something or someone who has become more important than God? Pray.
