Deuteronomy 29:2-5 Moses summoned all the Israelites and said to them: Your eyes have seen all that the LORD did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials and to all his land. 3 With your own eyes you saw those great trials, those miraculous signs and great wonders. 4 But to this day the LORD has not given you a mind that understands or eyes that see or ears that hear. 5 During the forty years that I led you through the desert, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet.
I wonder how many times that I have seen God work in my life and yet my faith waivers much like the Israelites. They saw God do amazing things like what is described in the passage above and yet they often would forget God and turn to false gods and to things that would take them away from their first love. How many times do people say, "I will believe if... God will just...." And then when that time comes they instead turn from God. Oh how often I have done the same thing. I just don't get it, God has done so many amazing things and yet I turn to things that pull me away from Him. Why? This is not my hearts desire, this is not what I want but like Paul I do what I don't want to do, but don't do what I know I need to do. Today as I see God at work I pray that I would be drawn to Him and that my eyes would be focused on Him as I strive to serve Him.
Father I need to see you today, give me eyes to see you, a heart to know you, ears to hear you and willingness to obey.
