@Livingwater 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.

The Bible is unique because it is God’’s Book; He is the Author.
