John 5:19, Luke 18:41-42, Matthew 13:10-17
Today's Thought
In our busy lives, it’s so easy to get tunnel visioned and focus on our schedules, goals, and personal needs. But Jesus calls us to see more. In scripture God calls us to love the “least of these.” “The least” doesn’t just refer to those struggling; it can also mean those we tend to get overlooked. Jesus often did the greatest works in the midst of an interruption. What if these interruptions were not accidents but the very thing He came for? What if the people who interrupt our day are actually those God has placed in our path to reach? Let our prayer this year be that God will give us new eyes – to see beyond what builds our own world and focus on what builds His Kingdom. Let’s be people that reach people “in” our way, while we’re on our way!

Prayer Focus
Father, I ask that you would open my eyes to the assignments and direction that you have for me this year. I want your Kingdom to come and your will to be done in my life, but I know it starts with being able to see. So as the blind man in Luke responded to your question “What do you want me to do for you?” I am praying the same words: “Lord, I want to see”.
