Dear friend,
God is indeed leading His people in the good and right way. But, alas, there are those immature among His people, who rather sleep all the way to Heaven! What a pity! To sleep is like being blind and unaware of things around them. Maybe worse than the blind who at least can perceive things around them, if not by sight.
Our Lord once asked a man, "What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?" To that he replied, "Lord, that I may receive my sight." (Luk. 18:41) To those who have seen, they know that there is nothing like seeing in perceiving this wonderful creation of God. Part of our problems is to become so engrossed with seeing that we neglect the wonders of hearing, smelling, touching and tasting. They are all the wonderful creation of God. If we are blind and have no desire to see, how shall we appreciate the perception of things around us with other lesser means? The desire of sight speaks of a desire for a quick and immediate perception of things. Do we long for such ability in the spiritual things of God? The Lord asks you personally this day, "What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?"
When they were ready for the right thing, then "opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures." (Luk. 24:45) This is the work of the Spirit of Truth, "The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, ...[He] shall teach you all things." (Joh. 14:26)
When we can see, we shall "know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power." (Eph. 1:19)
Are we still sleeping like the blind in a dark world?
