Eyes of Faith

Then after Moses grew up, his faith made him refuse to be called the king's grandson.  He chose to be mistreated with God's people instead of having the good time that sin could bring for a little while.  Moses knew that the treasures of earth were not as wonderful as what he would receive from suffering for the Messiah, and he looked forward to his reward.  Because of his faith, Moses left Egypt.  Moses had seen the invisible God and wasn't afraid of the king's anger.  His faith also made him celebrate Passover. He sprinkled the blood of animals on the doorposts, so that the first-born sons of the people of Israel would not be killed by the destroying angel.  Because of their faith, the people walked through the Red Sea on dry land. But when the Egyptians tried to do it, they were drowned. 

Hebrews 11:24-29



Faith is God's corrective lens for human vision. With faith from God and faith in God we can see everything clearly and beyond our human capabilities. 

When you wear glasses you can see things in better focus, but your vision is still partially blocked by the frames that hold the lenses on your head. When you wear contact lenses the vision is completely unobstructed.  But when a physician takes out the old clouded and misshapen lenses in your eyes and replaces them with clear and properly curved ones, the improvement is stunning!

What you see through the eyes of Faith is the same!  You see everything as it is, without any hinderance.

When you pray, "Open my eyes Lord, I want to see Jesus," it will not matter which way your head is turned.  You will see Jesus in everything all around you!  

Faith in what He has done, is doing and will do is foundational.   For a follower of Jesus, faith that He is with you always, and that He speaks to the Father on your behalf, is the bedrock of Perfect Peace in this world of sin! 

"Lord Jesus, You are the Great Physician who gives Your followers Eyes of Faith to see everything as You see it all.  May Your Holy Name be Praised now and forever, Amen!"
