Open our eyes and ears! (Isaiah 42)

-


The most important thing in our spiritual growth is not just to read bible much or have much prayer time. Even though we make every effort to obey spiritual rules, if we close our eyes and ears to God, we cannot see the Glory of God. Without opening eyes and ears, all the effort and work we do couldn't change our heart and lives at all.

"Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see! ... You have seen many things, but have paid no attention; your ears are open, but you hear nothing." (Isa42:18,20)

Who is blind but my servant, and deaf like the messenger I send? Who is blind like the one committed to me, blind like the servant of the LORD? (Isa42:19)

​Those who looked passionate for God's work - Lord's servants and God's messangers, were the blind and the deaf. The reason is their closed eyes and ears to God.

Now people see what they want to see and listen to what they want to hear. In such a world, God eagarly serches for those who expect to see God's glory and to listen carefully God's voice.

For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. (2Ch16:9)

​I hope to live opening my eyes and ears to God. Whatever God said to me, I want to obey His words. And whatever God show me, I want to praise Him with all my hearts.

I really want to be the very person that God is eagarly searching for.


Prayer

My dear Lord, I really often see the world and listen to my sinful desires in my body. I believe that You are searching for the man who always see the Lord and expect to hear Your voice. Please fill up my life by Your grace,  words and Holy spirit. Protect me from complaints, worldly news and sinful desire. Strengthen me to live a life full of heavenly blessings.

Today I learned that I should keep my eyes and ears well. Lord, I close my eyes and ears from the world, and open them to You. I want to live in Your presence all the time. Please help me and lead my life to Your throne. I prayed in Jesus' name. Amen!

Today's passage discusses the regulations regarding the lampstand and the bread of the presence in the sanctuary of God. Upon entering the sanctuary and facing the left wall, there are seven lampstands, while facing the right wall reveals the twelve loaves of bread on the table of the presence. God commanded the Israelites to bring pure, pressed olive oil to keep the lamps burning continuously, and Aaron was to tend to the lamps from evening until morning outside the curtain of the testimony in the tabernacle of meeting. This was to be an everlasting statute for generations to come (Leviticus 24:2-3). The oil used to light the seven lampstands was pure, pressed olive oil, and the lamps had to be cleaned and refilled with fresh oil every day from evening until morning. "Take fine flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf. Arrange them in two stacks, six in each stack, on the table of pure gold before the Lord. By each stack, put some pure...

Leviticus 23 outlines the regulations regarding the "Seven Feasts of Israel." Unlike national holidays, which are usually based on a significant event in a country's history, the feasts of Israel were established by God to commemorate future redemptive events that would take place in human history. God instructed that there should be a set time for each feast, and these feasts were known as "God's appointed times" or "divine appointments." The feasts were designed to provide an opportunity for the Israelites to prepare themselves spiritually and to remind them of their dependence on God. The seven feasts of Israel, with their symbolic meanings, are as follows: Spring Feasts: 1) Passover - Jesus' crucifixion and suffering 2) Unleavened Bread - Jesus' burial in the tomb 3) Firstfruits - Jesus' resurrection 4) Pentecost - the coming of the Holy Spirit Fall Feasts: 5) Trumpets - the second coming of Jesus 6) Atonement - the Great Tribulatio...
