Our Vision may be 20/20, but how well do we see with the "eyes of our hearts?" We cannot see Jesus with our physical eyes; it takes special eyes-the eyes of our hearts-to be able to see Jesus, high and lifted up, shining in all of His glory and holiness. Such words well up from the bottom of our souls: Open the eyes of my heart, Lord: I want to see You. Jesus is at work; we just don't see it sometimes because His ways are so different from ours. Who would plan to birth the King of kings and the Lord of lords in a stable, to a peasant girl? Alone and destitute, Mary could have doubted that she was seeing Jesus. Maybe it was her willingness to be so humbled and still believe that made her the best servant for the awesome task to which God called her. You are seeing with the eyes of your heart when you hold on despite what your eyes can see. When God takes you through an all-time low, will you stay confident in His ability to still work through you? Ephesians 1:18, 19a - I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. PRAYER - Unless we remind ourselves of the truth, we slip into believing only what we can see. Confess what you believe about Jesus. For example: "Jesus, I believe You are at work in my life. I believe You have every situation under control. I believe You want to work through me for Your glory."
