OPENED EYES
IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JANUARY 2, 2012
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Genesis 3:7
When sin entered the world, the point of attack was upon the eyes. The Scripture tells us that the eyes of Adam and Eve were now opened. That is to say, that their eyes were now corrupted. They would now know good and evil. They would be judgemental, defensive, careful, covered-up. That which was beautiful, whole and complete-- they would now see as naked. God made Adam in the image of God; but God could no longer fellowship with Adam because Adam had found a fault in the creation. Adam realised that he was naked. God asks Adam: "Who told thee that thou wast naked?" God wanted to know who corrupted the eyes of his creation. Who caused mankind to be so judgemental, defensive, careful, covered-up? No doubt, it is the work of satan that has corrupted the eyes of man. But wonderfully, God has an eyesalve that we can apply to our our eyes so the shame of our nakedness does not appear, so that we may see (Read Revelations 3:18).
Today, Let us allow the grace of God to restore our sight, that we might have a bountiful eye to behold the glory of the Lord.
