Study2B..When we read the Bible without the help of God, the glory of God in the teachings and events of the Bible is like the sun shining in the face of a blind man.

Study 2B..Open my eyes...illumination
Psalm 119:18...
No one can see these wonderful things for what they really are without God’s supernatural help. “Open my eyes, that I may behold wonderful things from your law.” If God does not open our eyes, we will not see the wonder of the word. We are not naturally able to see spiritual beauty. When we read the Bible without the help of God, the glory of God in the teachings and events of the Bible is like the sun shining in the face of a blind man. Not that you can’t construe its surface meaning, but you can’t see the wonder, the beauty, the glory of it such that it wins your heart.
2 . ““Open my eyes that I may …” …” see the love of God and His infinite mercy and grace in the Lord Jesus Christ .
We know the story of the grace of God so well; it is wonderfully declared in John 3:16. How great, far-reaching and all-embracing is the love of God! Read again Luke 15:11-24 and revel in verses 20-24. The great proof of God’’s love is seen at Calvary, and when my eyes are opened to see the Lord Jesus dying there for me I cry out: “”…the Son of God……loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20), and humbly say, ““My Lord and my God!”” (John 20:28). Do you have this view of Christ crucified for you, and Christ risen and exalted as your Saviour at the right hand of God? Read Philippians 2:5-11, and then say to yourself – – “And all this was for me –- a sinner!””
3 . ““Open my eyes that I may …” …” see the kind of Christian God wants me to be.
If you open your Bible at Psalm 1:1-3 you will see the kind of Christian God wants you to be. You will see the same thing in Romans 6:12-14; Romans 8:37-39; Ephesians 4:31-32 and 2 Timothy 4:18. God desires every one of His children to be victorious in Christian living and fruitful in Christian service, and He has made every provision for us to live for Him and serve Him in this way. The Lord Jesus died and has risen again to give us His own victorious life, and this life is imparted to us in the Person of the Holy Spirit.
These, then, are the three special prayers that we should always pray when we read our Bibles. Many other things will be revealed to us, such as the glory and the majesty of God, the mystery of His providence, the extent of His redeeming work, the activity of the Holy Spirit, the nature and function of the Church, God’’s purposes for the Jew and the Church in the world –- so let us pray this prayer and cultivate the habit of doing so, remembering that the Holy Spirit is with us and in us, and that He is waiting to answer our prayer and to give the illumination we need.React to this,you will be illuminated.
