And Their Eyes Were Opened

Luke 24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

Thoughts:

How long does it take for my eyes to be opened to the truths of God’s Word?
How well do I know the Lord? These disciples thought they knew the Lord, but it was a while before they realized who He was. Does He walk and talk with me and while doing so am I totally blind to who He is and what He wants me to do?
As soon as I close my Bible, does He vanish from me? Has he vanished from my thoughts, my meditations, my obedience to Him? I’m afraid and so ashamed to say that all too often this is true.

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.
Open my ears, that I may hear
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear.
Open my mouth, and let me bear,
Gladly the warm truth everywhere;
Open my heart and let me prepare
Love with Thy children thus to share.

Refrain

Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready my God, Thy will to see,
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine!

50 Reasons Why I Love the Lord

I recently had a birthday, but more important is my spiritual birthday. I am so thankful to be born again. This is my 50th year in the Lord! To think that the Lord saved me and keeps me is beyond my comprehension! I am so filled with awe and gratitude to my Lord! Since this is my 50th year to be saved, I wrote down 50 reasons why I love Him. It was not a hard task. There are so many reasons to love the Lord. I cannot think of one reason why the Lord would want to love me, but I am so thankful that He does. He only is our HOPE. I have been so overwhelmed with the Lord's love for me that I felt like I needed to share it with others. If you don't know the Lord, please don't delay. You will never regret His love for you. He first loved me. He sent His only begotten son to die in my place. He forgives all my sin He saved me by His shed blood He has never left nor forsaken me. He is ever merciful and His mercies are new every morning. He gives grace

Wednesday’s Wisdom

1 Kings 8:61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day. How much do we give? Psalms 96:8-9 “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name:” (Give Praise and worship) “bring an offering, and come into his courts.” (Give personal wealth) “O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.” (Give practical witness) “ God wants our praise. The world needs our practical witness of a holy life. and we need to give our personal wealth. God does not need our gifts-but we need to give. The greatest gift we can give is to give our lives to His service. ~The above is from My Morning Manna, vol. 3, p. 226, by Ed Nelson
