Open My Eyes

" I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened,
so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, 
what are the riches of his glory of His inheritance in the saints."
Ephesians 1:18
"Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law."
Ps. 119:18
This goes beyond mere reading and mere studying and mere learning.  
This is seeing of wonder.
And the wonder wakens faith and sustains faith.
Fix your eyes so the Son and ask for light.
Taste and See - John Piper

  1. That's one of my very favorite songs. Love, love, love the music and the message that comes with it.

    Hubby just left for church to set up. He plays guitar and sings with the worship team. Every time I see/hear him play, I fall in love with him all over again.
