A
reminder for today
The
LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down.
The LORD loves the godly. (Psalm 146:8)
I guess in war there is always a level of greed and
selfishness that causes it. When we look at our own personal battles we are
sometimes blinded by greed and selfishness as we seek only our own happiness.
So today I have an image of a blind man carrying a heavy
bag. He stands at the end of the curve trying to cross a busy road. Every time
he tries to take a step, a car comes speeding down the road blowing its horn to
warn the blind man not to move. After a while he starts to get impatient and
gets bolder with his attempts. So as a car comes speeding down again, he takes a
step. The angry driver slams on the breaks and jumps on the horn as he swerves
into another lane to pass the blind man. For a moment the blind man just stood
there not knowing to carry on or to go back. Just as he wants to take another step
he hears the loud roar of truck coming down the road. He freezes as he stood
there unsure if the truck is in the lane that he was standing in. Afraid and
shivering he just stayed where he was waiting for the truck. Instead of
slamming on his horn, the truck slowed down and seemed to come to a standstill.
The blind man could hear a large number of horns as angry drivers shouted at
the truck driver.
Suddenly the driver of the truck jumped out of the truck
and came walking towards the blind man. For a moment the blind man though that
the angry truck driver surely is on his way to shout at the blind man, but as
he got closer he could sense that there were no anger in this man. The truck
driver walked up to the blind man and greeted him politely after which he said “Sir,
you can cross with now worries, because I blocked the entire street”.
Sometimes we are this blind man standing at the side of a
busy road. Instead of jumping into the oncoming traffic, we should look to the
Lord, because He will open the eyes of the blind and He will lift those that
is weighted down. To me this means that even when the enemy blind us with lies and
deceit, the Lord will open our eyes and stop traffic for us as He helps us
carry our loads.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
