Are You Spiritually Blind?
“Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.”
Psalm 51:5

Ponder This
Did you know we are all born blind? Spiritually speaking, we are all born blind. This verse reminds me I was a sinner at conception. I was born—even conceived—with a sinful nature. Even your precious little one, believe it or not, has a sinful nature. We all need to be saved.
The blind need more than light to see. A blind man may not see the light, but he would be foolish to deny the light just simply because he cannot see it. Those who are blind need more than light, they need sight.
I have visited Carlsbad Caverns, and there is a deep cave. At one point the guide had the people turn out all the lights and the darkness was so deep that you could almost slice it.
Even if you have 20/20 vision, you can’t see a thing because there’s no sight without light. Those born in sin need sight from God, but they also need to see God’s light in us. Both are important components in stepping out of spiritual blindness to see clearly.
- Who in your life needs sight from God?
- How is your life a reflection of God’s light?
Practice This
Make a list of those you know who are spiritually blind and pray that they might gain sight from God.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
