Good morning people who see through spiritual eyes

Mark 8 14-21 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.” They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.” Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember? When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” “Twelve,” they replied. “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” They answered, “Seven.” He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”

We need the Holy Spirit to bring revelation to us. We need Him to lead us into all truth. It is so easy to simply look at situations through natural eyes. But it is imperative that we see through spiritual eyes and understand spiritual truths as God intends.

We also need to frequently remember what God has done in the past. Our present reality can at times overwhelm us. What is our anchor? Not a wishful hope but knowledge of a God who has already done great things for us and in us! This is sure foundation and our present hope in time of need.

Today I encourage you to listen to the Holy Spirit and to give thanks. These are two keys to living a successful Christian life.
