12/19- Isaiah 35:4,5 “Your God will come...to save you. Then the eyes of the blind will be opened and
the ears of the deaf unstopped…”
Thoughts: This prediction of the first advent of the Christ is that He will help the blind to see and the deaf to hear. But it was more than that. Christ’s coming opens up the whole world to us. The good news is that help has come. We just need to recognize the help- open our eyes and ears to the mystery of God around us. Years ago I read of a ten year old child who had surgery on his ears, and was able to hear for the first time. His world had changed. It became more beautiful, more enriched. Jesus has come to not leave us in our graves, or leave our lives wandering and lost. Open your eyes and ears to Him anew today. Listen to what the Lord wants you to do and go to today.
Jesus came not to hurt- but to heal. He heals not only physically, but spiritually. His sacrifice on the cross is for the healing of the nations and for our own healing.

Prayer: Lord, than you that you came- and came to help. Let me appreciate being able to see and hear
you, and respond to you graciously.
