Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law – Psalms 119:18
Many read Bible like a history book because their eyes are not opened. Psalmist is asking God to open his spiritual eyes so that he can understand the scripture clearly. We read in 2 Kings 6:17, Elijah prays for his servant’s veil to be removed.
In new testament we see Paul’s eyes were opened to see the spiritual realm. He writes, even though we live in flesh, our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms – Ephesian 6:12
How the spiritual eyes can be opened?
As fallen men our spirit is dead. When the spirit is dead, the spirit loses its fellowship with God. When sinful man accepts Christ as his savior, he is filled by the Holy Spirit who renews right spirit with in man and makes him God conscious. When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth – John 16:13
Prayer: Open the eyes of my heart, O Lord. Renew a right spirit within me. Guide me into all your truth. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!!!
