Isaiah 42:6-9 English Standard Version (ESV)
6 “I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations,
7 to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.
8 I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols.
9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
While seeking the Lord in where to go next with unveiling truth about spiritual ears and eyes I was led here by the words of fellow Christians. Praise God for placing me with other believers of sincere faith and devotion to His Word. We are not alone for we all were in darkness at one time and this sharing of what we see in the light is yet another declaration of His grace towards us.
God declared His intention and made it plain to those of us who have come into the glorious light. When it comes to understanding why others cannot see what we now see I hear lyrics to a song. Those words are from Hotel California by the Eagles. “We are all just prisoners here of our own device.”
When we come out of those prisons into the light we struggle to see with these new eyes. It takes time to adjust to the light of truth. Most of us were not even aware that we were prisoners, what our prison looked like and why it had such a hold on us. Then when we heard the truth being spoken by others that had been set free their words struck a chord of agreement. That chord of agreement was the Holy Spirit saying “Yes and Amen”.
Amen and amen!
