Prayer Thoughts for the Heart

The eyes are one of our five senses. They are delicate beyond belief and beautiful in many colors, brown, green and blue. They are treasured by everyone and God’s gift. In the Scriptures the eye is spoken of in many different ways.

After 42 chapters, Job finally tells God that He had heard of Him, but now he says that my eyes have seen you. I understand your greatness, wisdom, and mercy. I can now see myself for what I am before a holy God. I stand here before God in reverence with a changed attitude and I repent of my sins from the bottom of my heart.

It is wonderful when God opens our eyes to see Him and all His goodness, love, and mercy.

Scripture speaks of the evil eye and I am sure some of us have experience someone giving us the evil eye. Hopefully, at one time or another we have seen the generous eyes of others. Eyes that we can just see in them love, compassion, caring, and a desire to help in some way.

Scripture tells us that a person’s eyes that are full of pride are headed for a fall. We need to cultivate our eyes to show fullness of humility.

Our eyes are for seeing a need someone has and meeting it. Our eyes are for reading God’s precious Word and seeing that we remember to pu t it into practice. Did you speak to God today, asking for His wisdom to deal rightly with your problems? Also, giving Him praise and thanksgiving for all the other things you asked for today.

Every eye shall someday behold Him when He returns, and the eye has not seen nor ear heard what God has prepared for all of us who love Him.
