The Blind Fold

Mark 8:23-25 “And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put [his] hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly”. This portion often strikes me. The blind man when he was first touched he didn’t see clearly but the second time he saw with understanding. We can be the same, in prayer the blindfold comes off. The scales fall from our eyes. We begin to realize the power of a touch from God. Life doesn’t make sense unless the Lord touches us again and again in prayer and meditation. We are blind without prayer. Prayer allows God to carry our burdens so the pillar of fire can be our guide. Bow before God and let him put his hands on your eyes so you can see with divine viewpoint.
