READ John 9
MEDITATE on John 9:38, "He [the formerly blind man] said, 'Lord, I believe,' and he worshiped him." Now that you see who Jesus is, do you worship Jesus?

REFLECT
Jesus encountered many people who were unsure of what to think of him. There are many today that say the same thing, that they believe he was a good man and a teacher, but doubt he was actually God. There is a sense of separation between heaven and earth that is hard to cross.

But that is the point - only God could cross such a separation. Not only did sin render us blind to God's goodness and our sin, but it also rendered us dead to God. No man could cross that separation. Only God could and did.

Now, do you see God's goodness? Do you see Jesus' deity? Do you see God's goodness in your own life? Are you growing in awareness of who He is, in His majesty, His glory, and His being? Do you see His holiness and love, so that He would also mix justice and mercy in the body and blood of Jesus?

And now seeing, do you worship Him?

PRAY

Pray for fresh eyes and corrected vision to daily see God in His glory and us in our need. Pray for corrected vision for others around us. And as part of your prayer, worship, sit, enjoy, listen, and learn!
