“Behold, your house is being left to you desolate! For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord!’” (Matthew 23:38-39)
Humanity is in rebellion against the Lord. As long as we insist on things being the way we want them to be, we will never see that the Lord has been around us the whole time. He is the One who created all things. He is the One who has established morality. It shall be the Lord’s will that is done. Until one comes to the place of blessing the Lord, their eyes will remain shut and they will not see.
Lord, I do not understand the closing and opening of the eyes for those who do and those who do not see. I know You desire that none would perish, but there are those who will perish. Guide me into the sight You give by faith. Help me to not be hindered by my thoughts, but to trust in You alone for all things, even the things which puzzle me. You are God and You are the One who establishes all things.
Lord Jesus, help my unbelief. You have given me the ability to see. You have opened the eyes of my faith. Lead me in the way You know I need to walk. Help me to live by the faith You give knowing that there are those around me who cannot see. Let me never again go to the place of desolation, but live according to Your word of truth. Lead me, dear Savior, in the way of everlasting life. Amen.
