Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 119:17-24
This third section of this amazing psalm begins with the Hebrew letter gimel. Every verse begins with a word whose first letter is gimel. Verse 18 says it all when we read “Open Thou mine eyes.” We need the eyes of faith and understanding, the willingness to see what God wants us to see in His marvelous Word. Satan blinds the eyes of unbelievers (II Corinthians 4:3-4) lest the light of the glorious gospel of the Messiah should shine unto them. Our sin also blinds us to seeing what God wants us to do (Psalm 119:11).
Verse for Meditation: Verse 18 – “Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law.”
