Open My Eyes

Ps 119:18 Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law.

2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.”

Grumbling blinds you to God’s blessings, but gratitude opens your eyes to enjoy them.

1 Cor 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

:2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

:3 all ate the same spiritual food,

:4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them and that Rock was Christ.

:5 But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.

:6 Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.

:7 And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”

:8 Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell;

:9 nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents;

:10 nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

:11 Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

:12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to hear it.

Beware of pride when you hear or see someone stumble in their walk with Christ. It could happen to you.

Your temptation may not be exactly like theirs, but yours can make you stumble also.
