None So Blind

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Psalm 82

Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me. —Matthew 25:40

Singer Ray Stevens is generally given credit for writing the phrase “There is none so blind as he who will not see,” a line from the song “Everything Is Beautiful.” But preacher Matthew Henry used the phrase 250 years ago when commenting on the lyrics of another songwriter, Asaph.

Asaph’s lyrics were not as upbeat as those of Stevens. His song was a rebuke to the Israelites for failing to fulfill their God-given purpose. God had chosen them to show the world how to live right and judge justly, but they were failing miserably. Instead of defending the weak and fatherless, they were defending the unjust and showing partiality to the wicked (Ps. 82:2-3).

In his commentary on Psalm 82, Henry wrote: “A gift in secret blinds their eyes. They know not because they will not understand. None so blind as those that will not see. They have baffled their own consciences, and so they walk on in darkness.”

Jesus confirmed God’s interest in the weak and helpless. He explained that whatever is done for the “least of these” is done for Him (see Matt. 25:34-40). And He chided His disciples for keeping children away from Him (Luke 18:16).

Those who have eyes that see what God sees find ways to help the helpless.

Love through me, Love of God,
There is no love in me;
O Fire of love, light Thou the love
That burns perpetually. —Carmichael

Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday

"The air is like a butterfly
With frail blue wings.
The happy earth looks at the sky
And sings."
- Joyce Kilmer, Spring

Darling graphic, Amy and Billie!

I have a Bobby Darin C.D. and it has Splish Splash on it! It has many beautiful love songs on it. I got that C.D. when the movie “Beyond the Sea” was coming out. It was a big flop at theatres but I later found the movie at a good price and bought it. I just wanted to see about his life with Sandra Dee. Bobby died at such an early age...upper 30’s!

Happy Warm and Fuzzy Wednesday!

Happy Warm & Fuzzy!

Off to Boston for a few hours in the the rain.

Talk amongst yourselves.

[jaycee]

Funny girl, have fun! I’m leaving too but just local stuff!

[luvie]

Can I go, too?

I’ve never been to Boston except to the airport. :D

[yorkie]

LOL, JC. That child needs a good conditioner!

"Splish Splash" should be for cats only!
