Excuse me while I wrestle pride and laziness so I can get my glasses from them and put them on. Alright you! Let go of my glasses! arraaaagh! Ha-ha! I have them! Oh now I can see you dear readers. Ooops! there goes those monsters pride and laziness again! Excuse me while I wrestle them. Perhaps I will be able to give you a thought for the day the next time you come back. Hey! get back here with my glasses! Wait until the Lord and I get a grip on you pride and laziness!

Lord Heal My Ears And Eyes

Lord I am weak but You are strong.

Holy Spirit fill me the whole day long.

That I may find my strength in God.

And that through His Son have victory where ever I trod.

God I am hard of hearing and my eyes are dim.

But I have no doubt that Your Son can heal them.

Holy Spirit come teach these eyes.

Make my ears attentive to God's word and my neighbors cries.

Give me what to do and say,

That others may hear and see God today. Amen

Glasses

I have to wear glasses to see things in the distance. I also have to wear glasses to read. A lot of times I don't wear either pair. Be it because I feel I look bad in them, or the fact that they don't fit comfortably, is no excuse not to wear them. By not wearing them I don't always get a clear picture of the world around me. I sometimes even miss out on seeing things. It also causes me to strain my eyes and sometimes causes head aches. Aaah the price of pride and laziness! I must over come pride and stop worrying about how glasses make me look. I must stop being lazy and get glasses that fit right and feel comfortable. It is silly to miss out on so much and do things that give myself a head ache when I don't have to. Well I need my spiritual glasses too. I need them to help me see things in the distance. God tells me in His word the bible what to expect in the future when I see certain things happening today. He tells me how to deal and cope with future events. He also assures me of  the final out come of future events. He tells me things that give me hope and courage and to look forward to. I would miss all this with out my spiritual glasses. To get the right prescription lenses for my spiritual glasses. I need the bible, prayer, and the Holy Spirit. I need these to have the right prescription for my spiritual reading glasses too. I need to wear spiritual reading glasses so I can see things more clearly, so I don't have to strain at the bibles meaning. And so I don't get it's meaning twisted around which would give me a spiritual head ache in the problems that would cause. With spiritual reading glasses I can learn rightly, grow, and gain wisdom. But the thing is I must not let pride and laziness stop me from wearing them. I must not be afraid of  how people will look at me if  I read my bible in front of them. Or if they see me consult God's word on a matter. I must not be afraid to recite scripture during a given situation. Because I am fearful  that they may not agree with the scripture that came to my mind at the time. I must not be to lazy to put on my spiritual glasses daily. By this I me not being to lazy to read God's word, pray, and seek the Holy spirits help as I read and His fresh infilling for the day. I must wear my spiritual glasses even if they feel a little uncomfortable at times. Because, if I don't I am going to miss out on a lot! And I am probably going to end up with worse than a spiritual head ache if I don't!

Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive; for the heart of this people has grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their heart and turn, so that I should heal them. For blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; For assuredly I say unto you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear; and did not hear it. Matthew 13:14-17
