I had something planned to post today, but God just changed that through my daily worship devotional. So instead, I am going to share the link below for you to enjoy as well. (To subscribe to the devotional text “Sing” to 79316. You will get a free daily (weekday) singing devotional sent to you.)
The speaker shared several scriptures on sight/seeing/vision that just sum up this week beautifully. She runs through them quickly, so I will share them so you can make notes of them and study later. I am going to share them in the Names of God, God’s Word Translation.
God gives us physical sight:
Exodus 4:11 “Yahweh asked him, ‘Who gave humans their mouths? Who makes humans unable to talk or hear? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? It is I, Yahweh!”
Proverbs 20:12 “The ear that hears, the eyes that see—Yahweh made them both.”
Matthew 11:5 “Blind people see again, lame people are walking, those with skin diseases are made clean, deaf people hear again, dead people are brought back to life, and poor people hear the Good News.”
Mark 8:22-25 “As they came to Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man to Yeshua. They begged Yeshua to touch him. Yeshua took the blind man’s hand and led him out of the village. He spit into the man’s eyes and placed his hand on him. Yeshua asked him, ‘Can you see anything?’ The man looked up and said, “I see people. They look like trees walking around.” Then Yeshua placed his hands on the man’s eyes a second time, and the man saw clearly. His sight was normal again. He could see everything clearly, even at a distance.”
God gives us spiritual sight:
Acts 9:17-18 “Ananias left and entered Judas’ house. After he placed his hand on Saul, Ananias said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Yeshua, who appeared to you on your way to Damascus, sent me to you. He wants you to see again and to be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately, something like fish scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. Then Saul stood up and was baptized.”
Acts 26:15-18 “I asked, ‘Who are you, sir?’ The Lord answered, “I am Yeshua, the one you’re persecuting. Stand up! I have appeared to you for a reason. I’m appointing you to be a servant and witness of what you have seen and of what I will show you. I will rescue you from the Jewish people and from the non-Jewish people to whom I am sending you. You will open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light and from Satan’s control to God’s. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and a share among God’s people who are made holy by believing in me.”
Hebrews 11:27 “Faith led Moses to leave Egypt without being afraid of the king’s anger. Moses didn’t give up but continued as if he could actually see the invisible God.”
Psalm 119:18 “Uncover my eyes so that I may see the miraculous things in your teachings.”
Our sight is a tool that leads us to God:
Psalm 63:2 “So I look for you in the holy place to see your power and your glory.”
Luke 11:34 “Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is unclouded, your whole body is full of light. But when your eye is evil, your body is full of darkness.”
2 Corinthians 4:18 “We don’t look for things that can be seen but for things that can’t be seen. Things that can be seen are only temporary. But things that can’t be seen last forever.”
Psalm 27:4 “I have asked one thing from Yahweh. This I will seek: to remain in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life in order to gaze at Yahweh’s beauty and to search for an answer in his temple.”
Our faith will be made sight:
Revelation 1:7 “Look! He is coming in the clouds. Every eye will see him, even those who pierced him. Every tribe on earth will mourn because of him. This is true. Amen.”
1 Corinthians 13:12 “Now we see a blurred image in a mirror. Then we will see very clearly. Now my knowledge is incomplete. Then I will have complete knowledge, as God has complete knowledge of me.”
God sees you:
Genesis 16:13 “Hagar named Yahweh, who had been speaking to her, ‘You are El Roi.'” She said, “This is the place where I watched the One who watches over me.”
My prayer is that you have been blessed this week, knowing that El Roi sees you and has given you the ability to see him.
Have a great day with Jesus!
