Haven of Hope – Weekly Devotional (Week of 11/30/2008)

Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruise” 

 

God is in the restoration business!  This Scripture is amazing because it is the words of Jesus Himself describing what the purpose was for the anointing resting on Him.  Every one of us can find ourselves in the areas of focus that Jesus mentions.  However, for today let’s look at one aspect of His declaration.

 

“to preach…recovering of sight to the blind”

 

Have you ever met a person who was completely blind and didn’t know it?  Yeah, I haven’t either.  Most people who are completely blind know it.  However, I can remember thinking that I could see just fine and then, once I put on a pair of glasses for the first time, it was then that I realized just how bad my eyesight was. 

 

Spiritually speaking, there are some of us who know that we are completely blinded to spiritual things and we need Jesus to restore our sight so that we can find Him.

 

There may be others of us here today who may not realize just how bad our eyesight is.  We think to ourselves “I have a church background”, “I’ve accepted Christ as my Savior in the past”, “I know about Jesus”, etc.  However, I would challenge you to give Jesus an opportunity to restore your sight and bring you to even greater levels of understanding.

 

As you journey closer to God, you will keep finding more and more amazing things.  Then, just when you think it can’t get any better, He outdoes Himself again and you find yourself in yet another amazing journey of revelation, breakthrough, and deliverance.  Let Jesus restore your sight so you can see Him truly as He is!
