Luke 10:23 Then when they were alone, he turned to the
disciples and said, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you have seen. I tell you, many prophets and kings longed to
see what you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you
hear, but they didn’t hear it.”
The squirrels in my yard like to sit high in the trees and
scold me for getting between them and the bird feeders on my deck. When walking
the other day I saw one sitting on the very top of a telephone giving something
a piece of his mind. Yesterday I thought
I spotted another one on a telephone pole but when I got near I saw that it was
a large hawk, perched on top surveying the world. He could surely see a lot from that high perch. It would be nice if we could get up high and
see things from a clear vantage point, too.
Often we can’t see the forest for the trees. There are too many conflicting pieces of
information, there’s too much to comprehend.
Christ is telling his disciples that they are blessed because he has
revealed things to them that others could not see. Sometimes, all I can do in a
situation is to pray to God for vision, for discernment and guidance. I think perhaps we fail to do that
enough. What’s troubling you now? Pray to God for a clearer vision of the
circumstances.
Heavenly Father, we ask for eyes that see and ears that
hear, not just things of humans, but your will, your desires and your wisdom.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Blessings,
Paige
