SCRIPTURE
I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness...(7)To open the eyes that are blind, to free the captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. (Isaiah 42:7)
OBSERVATION
This is a powerful scripture! The Lord has called us as believers into action, to reach in to the clutches of darkness and free those from the captivity of the enemy and to make those blind in the darkness of this world, to see.
APPLICATION
In verse 6, it says that God will take hold of our hand and keep us as we (6) free the captives and make the blind to see. We live in a world where the enemy does everything in his power to keep the light of the Word of God, the light of Christ, from reaching the spiritually blind. He does everything in his power to keep the truth of the Word of God from setting the captives free! God has called us to play a role in standing against the enemy to bring His truth and this light to the Lost that we come in contact with.
PRAYER
Father, I pray that you would give us strength as believers to do just that. Strength to stand against the enemy and his schemes so that we may bring light to the spiritually blind, and to bring the truth of your Word to those held captive in darkness because the truth will set them free! I thank you that you said you will hold our hand as we step out in obediance and do what you have asked us to do.
Amen.
