Blind Sighted

Matthew 15:14 (The Message) Jesus shrugged it off. "Every tree that wasn't planted by my Father in heaven will be pulled up by its roots. Forget them. They are blind men leading blind men. When a blind man leads a blind man, they both end up in the ditch."

Ever notice how children and teens often will take the advice a peer offers, over that of a parent. For some strange reason, so many people will more readily accept the thoughts and opinions of someone at the same life-stage as themselves, rather than that of someone who has many more years of experience from which to offer counsel. It is often frustrating to a parent when a child rejects good sound counsel to blindly follow the words of a friend who knows no more than the child does. How much more might we consider the same thing about how God sees us? It must trouble Him to see his children blindly follow poor advice and “reasonable” worldly counsel. But so often we turn a deaf ear to God in favor of personal experience, or experience of others, when what He offers is the best counsel we could ever possibly receive.

Have A Blessed Day
