Watch for God’s Glory “Signposts”

“Open my eyes that I may see
wonderful things in your law.”

~Psalm 119:18  NIV

I don’t know about you, but I find it remarkable that  the writer of Psalm 119 (we are not exactly sure who the author is) wrote the words “Open my eyes…”  Have you ever prayed a prayer like this?  Have you even thought that God would open your eyes to show you His wonders?  I want to go through life with my eyes “open” to God’s wonders found in His Word and in His world.  I don’t want to walk around with blinders on and miss the great things that God is doing in the world today.  But face it, the world and its ways have a way of trying to put blinders on our spiritual eyes so that we cannot see the wonders of God.  We can become apathetic and complacent Christians if we are not walking through life with our spiritual eyes open.

This week the Lord opened my spiritual eyes and showed me His glory “signposts” in Laramie, WY.  I have been praying for revival for Laramie for a very long time and sometimes I think I have missed the glory “signposts” and become discouraged.  Last week, when I was in Belize with Stan, God showed me many glory “signposts” there as well.  His glory is all around us, folks, but we have to have our spiritual eyes open to see His glory.

So I’d challenge you to take some practical steps this week to walk with your spiritual eyes open:

1.  Put aside some of the things that may be blinding you to God’s glory.  Instead of listening to all the bad news in the world, take some intentional time to be in the “Good News.”

2. Pray and ask the Lord, as the Psalmist did, to open your eyes to His glory around you.  When He shows you a glory “signpost” be sure to be thankful!

3.  When God wants to show His glory through you and your life, be sure to obey.  You won’t regret obedience and the blessings far outweigh the personal cost.
