Psalm 119:18, “Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.” Psalm 119:37, “Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things…” Setting our eyes on worthless things is one of the surest ways to blind them to the wonder of God’s beauty in Christ. May God grant us grace to

Acts 13:27, 32-33, “For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize Him nor understand the utterance of the prophets…fulfilled them by condemning Him…..And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers, this He has fulfilled…by raising Jesus [from the dead].” The prophecies and

Isaiah 29:13-14, “Because this people draw near with their mouth…while their hearts are far from me…therefore, behold, I will again do wonderful things with this people, with wonder up wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish.” YHWH’s response to the distant hearts of His people is to do “wonder upon wonder”

Isaiah 53:3, “[The One on the throne of the universe is] A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” Only the One who drowned in, swallowed up, and rose from the sea of human sorrow can help those drowning in it today… Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy.
