New Vision

October 18, 2021 • Angus Buchan • 2 Chronicles 15:2, Luke 19:10, Matthew 7:7, Proverbs 29:18

“The Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.”
2 Chronicles 15:2

And then we go to the New Testament, Luke 19:10 Jesus says:

“…for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

And of course, one of my favourite scriptures, Matthew 7:7:

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. “

You know folks, there are none so blind as those who do not want to see.
Don’t you want to see, don’t you want to live today?

Helen Keller was born on 27th June 1880. When she was a little baby of 19 months old she got sick and when she recovered she was left blind and deaf... Can you possibly think of anything worse? It must be like being put in a cell with no windows and no doors. No contact with the outside world but her carer took hold of her hands and started to spell words on her hand and managed to break through and start a conversation with her, purely by impressing on her hands with her fingers.

Do you know that Helen Keller eventually went to university? She got a BA degree at university. She travelled to 35 countries around the world, speaking on behalf of the blind and the deaf. You and I need to seek after Jesus today with our hearts and not with our heads. Helen Keller said something I have never forgotten, words to this effect: “There are none so blind as those who can see and hear but who have no vision.” Do you have a vision today?

Proverbs 29:18: “Where there is no vision the people perish.”

The New King James Version says: “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint”

Ask the Lord today, to give you new vision... It will make you get up in the morning, it will make you get on with the work. It will take your eyes off yourself and put your eyes on Jesus and on other people.

God bless you and have a lovely day.
Goodbye.
