Today’s Text Comes from:
Luke 4:18
"The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed."
--------------------------------------------------
Today’s Notes from the Scriptures
God sent Jesus so the blind could have their sight recovered. This was both a physical and a spiritual truth. Some people were physically blind or suffered from other physical ailments. Jesus fulfilled this promise when He healed "every disease and sickness among the people" (Matt. 4:23)
Jesus also came to open our eyes spiritually.
He came to help us grasp the truths of God's Kingdom, to understand His principles, and to have the power to overcome our problems. Jesus came to free us from the hold of sin and release the abundant blessings He's prepared for us in His Kingdom.
He came that we might see the possibility of living by faith and believing God for supernatural breakthroughs. Many Christians are not physically blind, but are crippled by emotional, mental, or spiritual blindness. Their minds are wrapped in a mist.
Some are puffed up with pride and fail to exercise faith in God. They believe what they see with their natural eyes and reject the truth that, with God, all things are possible. Many simply think like the people around them and don't seek God's wisdom.
Today, ask God to help you see His truths more clearly than ever before. Ask Him to open your eyes to the full potential of His Kingdom. Seek a revelation of His power in your life.
Don't limit God or think like people in the world who don't know Him. Remember that God sent Jesus to help you see the world and your life more clearly. Jesus came to show you the way and help you see life from His perspective.

PRAYER: Father, open my eyes that I might see more of Your truth. Give me Your perspective on the world and the problems I face. Use me to impact others with the Gospel. In Jesus' name Amen.
