How we need the Lord to open our eyes! Without His Holy Spirit quickening the Word to our hearts we miss so much! If we will diligently study the Bible, He will reveal so much more of Himself. Passages we have read many times can come alive with special importance to us.  The enemy of our souls makes many people blind, but as Jesus did when He walked on the earth, He delights in causing the blind to see.  What wondrous things have you seen lately? 

Let all who desire to please Christ, watch and pray against self-esteem. It is a feeling which is deeply rooted in our hearts. Thousands have come out from the world, taken up the cross, professed to forsake their own righteousness, and believe in Christ, who have felt irritated and annoyed when a person has been more honored than themselves. These things ought not so to be. We ought often to ponder the words of Paul, “Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem others better than themselves.” (Phil 2:3) Blessed is that person who can sincerely and gladly rejoice when others are exalted, though they themselves are overlooked and passed by! – J.C.
