A New Set of Eyes

Me: I love your friends eyes!

Prodigal: I love his message too!

This is from the book The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer

I do not want to leave the impression that the ordinary means of grace have no value. They most assuredly have. Private prayer should be practiced by every Christian. Long periods of Bible meditation will purify our gaze and direct it; church attendance will enlarge our outlook and increase our love for others. Service and work and activity; all are good and should be engaged in by every Christian. But at the bottom of all these things, giving meaning to them, will be the inward habit of beholding God. A new set of eyes (so to speak) will develop within us enabling us to be looking at God while our outward eyes are seeing the scenes of this passing world.

Behold what the Lord is showing you and it is good. You do not have to fear. You do not have to have anxiety. The Lord has developed this plan and from it will come joy and peace.

Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

ACTS 15 : 18
