Eyes

Are your emotions bouncing off the wall? Are all the sounds distracting you? Is the hurried pace isolating you from others? Are you visually exhausted? Close your eyes. Jesus is alive. The resurrected Lord is here. Listen to His voice.

It is the Spirit who directs us when we are confronted with these types of decisions. He is our Counselor who opens our eyes to see the right path to take. It is His ministry to lead us into all truth. David said, “I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me” (Psalm 16:7). Even when we close our eyes in rest, the Spirit speaks to our hearts.

Chaos reigns in the world, but not with Jesus. In the midst of the madness, Jesus delivers peace. He is with us. He calms our shaken hearts. He looks us right in the eyes and says, “Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
