They shall not hunger or thirst, nor shall the scorching wind or the sun strike them; For he who pities them leads them and guides them beside springs of water. I will cut a road through all my mountains, and make my highways level. See, some shall come from afar, others from the north and the west, and some from the land of Syene. Sing out, O heavens, and rejoice, O earth, break forth into song, you mountains. For the LORD comforts his people and shows mercy to his afflicted. But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me; my Lord has forgotten me.” Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you.
In this passage, Jesus is telling us how often we are blind to the Lord. We must rely on His forgiveness and love to open our eyes to Him. Jesus tells us that we are not able to do this alone, and therefore rely on Him alone to guide us. So often we live our life believing in so much other than our actual God, even listening to those who love the Lord, yet we do not believe in Him on our own. How can we only listen to the words of the past, yet not seek the guidance of our Lord now? We should witness our experiences that He presents us, as He is prominent in our surroundings. God is inviting us to open our eyes and our hearts to the work that Jesus has done, and to tell the world of these great things. With prayer and worship, we should strive to see Him in full glory through Jesus.
CHALLENGE: Try to find God's work around you today, don't let something else blind you. He has done marvelous work and is always surrounding us, so pray to let your eyes be opened so you may witness His love. Let someone know how He has helped you today, either your family, friend, or even a stranger. For we all lack the ability to find every single work of His throughout our day, but by relying on Jesus and His writings we will be able to open our eyes. He does so much everyday since the beginning of time, and continues to amaze us.
