-Eighty Six- Are Your Eyes Open?

Are Your Eyes Open?

Today’s Reading: Psalm 107

Focal Verses:  

Psalm 107:8

Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,

And for His wonderful works to the children of men.

Psalm 107:43

Whoever is wise will observe these things,

And they will understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

Psalm 107 is a litany of the many ways in which God has delivered us.  Again and again it reminds us to thank Him for His goodness. Psalm 107 also teaches that if we are wise, we will observe these things and will gain an understanding of God’s love for us.
Stop moping.  Open your eyes to the grace He has given you.  Instead of complaining, give thanks to the Lord.  Instead of worrying, trust in His continuing mercies.  “Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness!”

Make a list of the many times God has delivered you.

Keep this list and add to it throughout your life.

Ask God to open your eyes to His goodness,

And make a habit of thanking Him for His goodness to you.
