Restoring Spiritual Sight
The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. —Psalm 119:130

Sanduk Ruit is a Nepalese doctor who has used his scalpel, microscope, and simplified cataract surgery technique to give sight to almost 70,000 people over the past 23 years. The poorest patients who visit his nonprofit eye center in Katmandu pay with just their gratitude.

Our Lord Jesus Christ healed many of physical blindness during His time on earth. But of greater concern to Him were the spiritually blind. Many of the religious authorities who investigated the healing of the blind man refused to believe that Jesus was not a sinner (John 9:13-34). This caused Jesus to say, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind” (v.39).

The apostle Paul wrote of this spiritual blindness when he said, “If our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them” (2 Cor. 4:3-4).

The psalmist said, “The entrance of Your words gives light” (Ps. 119:130). God’s Word is what will open our eyes and cure spiritual blindness.

Come to the Light, ’tis shining for thee!
Sweetly the Light has dawned upon me;
Once I was blind, but now I can see—
The Light of the world is Jesus. —Bliss

A world in darkness needs the light of Jesus.

Bible in One Year: 1 Chronicles 10-12; John 6:45-71

Thank you, Kitty Mittens. Marissa and I want to thank you for your prayers. God heard our prayers!

Thank you for your compliments on my Bird Graphic. I enjoyed working on that and since I had no internet, I had plenty of time. :)

Thank you for bringing good night greetings and blessings to Amy’s Place.

Hugs
