Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.

 

It is particularly tempting to approach the Scriptures as an academic exercise for people who have been Christians for a long time. Yet the Scripture tells us over and over that unless God opens our eyes, we can miss wonderful things. The great nuggets of life and wisdom that reading the Bible can bring come to those who are able to humble themselves before God and say, “Open my eyes that I may see”. This makes the truth of God’s word dynamically available to the scholar and the novice alike.
