Scripture:
John 9:39 "And Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind."(NASB)
Observation:
Jesus has brought so much into this world, yet we are so blind sighted by his gift and splendid blessing because we are so caught up in our own world and darkness that we don't truly recognize his gift and his plan.
He selected every individuals to be his child of light and to live to be like his light. Yet, how often do we really truly focus our lives to fulfilling his will. My family relationship with my aunts / uncles and my parents. My aunts and uncles are so blind sighted with monetary greed, they have lost their purpose in this world. Though my uncles and aunts prophesied of being good christian, how can they call them "good christian" when they cannot live as God has laid bluntly to us. When they have lied after lied to victimize themselves how is that shinning any light? I see them falling deeper and deeper into darkness. Jesus came to this world for judgement, and he will judge for he know all the truth regardless how well you try to consume or cover yourself from the truth.
Let's be honest here we get so soaked into our own world and games of this world that we get deeper and deeper into the darkness, we forget about our Lord and throw him under the bus until something bad goes wrong in our life. Why do we deny his light? What has our God done to deserve such? We are to shine as long as we are saved, let our lights shine upon this world versus dimming our light. This doesn't mean doing devotion daily and blessing with prayer and then forget about our Lord. Routine will not help grow our light into this world. God has given us the wisdom to share his insights and love amongst with the world. We need to remind our self daily that we were blind but God has open our eyes. There is no other way to God's kingdom then opening our eyes and start shinning.
Application:
Open my eyes and embrace his will and his amazing light. My aunts and uncle and even their daughter put a great example of what God is speaking in John. My existence in this world is not to fight to get richer or be wealthy. Sacrifice and disgrace God's blessing by taking control to maximize my wealth or personal relationship. My existence is to share God's light and shine his light in this world has he has shone upon me. Lord didn't keep me blind for reason, this was so that I may resonate his word and light with others. My daily task should not interfere or distract my intimate time of sitting down with Lord. Everything in this world is blessing and Lord is the primary source of blessing. Without him, I do not have anything that I contain today. God is priority and he cannot be last thing in my daily task. God should not be a task, he should be everything and all things. My life should be circular motion of his shinning light. Let the life I live in this world speak the truth nothing but the truth.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for your blazing light upon me. Father help me to listen to your whisper of wisdom and help me to be doer of your words. Father help with my will power to be convicted and focus to reach out and work your will in this world that I may shine the light and share the light with the world.
