Jun 27, 2007 · Spiritual Eyesight. By Pastor Jim May. After feeding the multitude with 7 seven loaves of bread and two small fish there were 12 baskets of fish and bread left over. But somehow the disciples had left and failed to take anything with them. Thus we find them, a little while later on a boat in the middle of the sea without any food.

A few months ago I was walking across campus at Dallas Theological Seminary, and I saw a blind man making his way across a court yard. He was using a walking stick with confidence, and I stood for a moment and watched him walk just amazed at the resiliency of the human mind. Here this guy had basically memorized the layout of the campus, and he wal...
But as powerful as your eyeballs are, they have one significant limitation. Every single eye in this room has a fatal flaw. Your eyes can only see physical reality. Every eye in this room is limited to seeing physical things: cars, people, buildings, planes, dogs, grass, pollution, microbes, trees, books, computers. These things are all physical, a...
I want to try to persuade you that as valuable as your physical eyesight is, you have a set of spiritual eyes that are even more valuable. Not only do you have spiritual eyes, but you must use them if you want to live a life that finds its satisfaction in God. Every human being has spiritual eyes. God gave them to us so that we could apprehend the ...
Psalm 73 is what students of the Bible call an individual song of thanksgiving or a wisdom Psalm. In this Psalm, a single author stands before a congregation of gathered worshipers and gives praise to God for delivering him from some difficult circumstance. The testimony time has multiple purposes. First, the psalmist wants to thank God for deliver...
He took those two little eyeballs of his, and he focused them on the proud and wicked around him and what he saw made him envious. Why was he envious? Well, just look at them! He says: For they suffer no pain; their bodies are strong and well-fed. They are immune to the trouble common to men; they do not suffer as other men do (Psalm 73:4-5). These...
Talk about confident. These guys are the epitome of swagger. Because they have so much, they act with impunity, without regard for consequences. They speak their mind, and if they must, they use violence in their negotiations. They think they own the joint and can do what ever they want. Verse 9 is a magnificent caricature. It literally says, “They...
I say this is a cry of protest, and not a shrug of resignation because the psalmist knows in his heart that something is not right. He recognizes what his eyes are showing him, but he is in conflict because he understands that this is not the way the world should be. His sense of justice, and faith in God, tell him that the wicked should get what t...
He continues, I concluded, “Surely in vain I have kept my motives pure and maintained a pure lifestyle. I suffer all day long, and am punished every morning” (Psalm 73:13-14). This guy is actually questioning his approach to life and is beginning to regret the fact that he has heretofore been committed to a life of purity! Behold the power of what ...
Then, as if he can find no other relief, he runs to the temple and the rest of reality explodes into view. Like someone stumbling about in a dark room and then finding the light switch, the psalmist “sees” what he has been missing all along! Then I entered the precincts of God’s temple, and understood the destiny of the wicked (Psalm 73:17). Standi...
The result of this new-found perspective was twofold: First, it brought shame, humility, brokenness, because the psalmist almost accepted what his physical eyes saw. Yes, my spirit was bitter, and my insides felt sharp pain. I was ignorant and lacked insight; I was as senseless as an animal before you (Psalm 73:21-22). Second, it brought awareness ...

Jan 9, 2007 · Eyes symbolize our spiritual condition before the Lord. The Eyes And Sin “Proud men (lit., the eyes of the pride of men) will be brought low, arrogant men will be humiliated (lit., the arrogance of men will be brought down)” (Isa. 2:11). In the Scriptures, eyes can be used to sin or to glorify the Lord.
Aug 1, 2021 · Hebrews 11:13-14. They looked and they saw. We need to look at some things with the eyes of faith as well. We need to pray that the Lord open our eyes. We need to open our eyes to spiritual possibilities. Let us pray the Lord open our eyes to our/my spiritual needs. The lost souls of men.
Dec 26, 2021 · Now I'm going to go back to that middle stage and say especially that I want to talk about the improvement of your spiritual sight for the rest of this sermon. That your eyesight, spiritual eyesight, will get better and better. I'm arguing here that faith is the eyesight of the soul. I’ve said that many times before, I think it's a good analogy.
