Through the Bible in one year - Day 82

Psalm 82:5

They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Today's Gospel reading was the report of Jesus healing the man born blind, and this Psalm reminds me of the discussion in that Gospel; who sinned this man or his parents, that he was born blind...neither says Jesus. Later he says that those who did not see have an excuse for not knowing, but for those who can see-who have understanding, they will be accountable.

[John 9:41: Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains".]

From this Psalm and that reading, I see that my own sight is both not perfect - and yet I am called to see things with godly insight, so that I do not walk in physical or spiritual darkness.

Lord, I ask that I see as you see, and care as you care, not to be blind to your call upon my life - and in order to know you-to read your word. Amen.

1 Corinthians 1:10

I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.
