Eyes

    After receiving a few reminders in the mail, having dealt with my first year of allergies/itchy eyes, and knowing that it has been quite awhile since I've had my eyes checked (2007), I decided it was time to make an eye appointment. So, last night, I dodged the rain drops and headed out to the new RX Optical near  me and had my eyes checked. Now, this morning, I've got "EYES" on my mind. As it is with the physical, so it is with the spiritual. Bausch and Lomb say, "Better eyesight....Richer life" ( or something close to that).  Listen to how God says it:

"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 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. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come." Ephesians 1:17-21

How is your spiritual eyesight? When was the last time you had a checkup? Can you see well? Do you see the:

    *"HOPE to which he has called YOU?"......Heaven, the Kingdom of God, living w/ him in paradise, being         presented as perfect & blameless before him

    *"the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints?"... the wealth of his life in you..."Christ IN YOU, the             hope of glory."

    *"the incomparably great power for us who believe?",..."I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who                     strengthens me."

 The better your spiritual eyesight, the richer your life will be. Perhaps it's time for you to go to the "Eye Dr." and ask Him to check the eyesight of your heart.

    * "So we FIX OUR EYES not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18

    * "Let us FIX OUR EYES on JESUS, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross..." Hebrews 12:2

    * "For the EYES of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil." 1 Peter 3:12

    * "Because you relied on the king of Aram and NOT ON THE LORD YOUR GOD, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hands.....For the EYES of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war."  2 chronicles 16:7-9

    * "Does he who formed the EYE not see?"  Psalm 94:9

    *"Look, he is coming with the clouds, and EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM...." Revelation 1:7

May our vision be clear and our eyes "fixed" until these eyes of ours meet the Creator of these amazing inventions (our eyes). Blessings from Bombadil. Kristy
