Whereas I Was Blind, Now I See.

August 31—Morning—John 9:25

"One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see."—John 9:25.

This is a profound statement, my soul: on what foundation do you base this knowledge? If the Lord Jesus has opened your eyes, then indeed you cannot help but recognize your former blindness; for in that state of nature, you could literally perceive nothing. And if your former blindness is now revealed, then your present sight has made you aware of new things. Pause and reflect on both this morning.

All that the Father has is Mine

August 28—Morning—2 Kings 4:1
"The creditor has come to take my two sons to be bondmen."—2 Kings 4:1.
My soul, how does this affect you? Are you in debt? By nature and by practice, you were miserably so, unless the debt has been cancelled. As a creature, and as a sinful creature, you are in yourself forever insolvent. You have nothing to pay and are completely unable to ever pay. And how much do you owe to my Lord? Alas, my soul, you owe millions of debts to your Almighty Creditor.

I would follow the Lamb wherever he goes

August 25—Morning—Revelation 22:3, 4

"His servants shall serve him. And they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads."—Revelation 22:3, 4.
