Gen. 48: a blind man and a seeing God.

We all are blind to God's choices.  My mother in law is blind in one eye, and with alzheimers she sees things that are not there constantly.  She is a example of one who cannot trust herself to see clearly. She goes about thinking she is okay though.  God continues to humble me all the time when he shows me I'm not seeing things clearly.  Am thankful for that it helps alot when he does.  We have a tendency to judge people on our own.  Blind Jacob depends here on God . Joseph doesn't understand why he chooses to bless Ephraim.    It was like that when Samuel would choose a man from Jesse's family.  God's choice was David.  That real bad person we know now may be a wonderful pwrson in the future.  God gives people lessons to turn them around.   King Nebuchadnezzar was a real proud king . He reminds of the story of beauty and the beast.  Dan. 4: shows he repented of his hard hearted pride.  God can do that to anyone.  God can save our loved ones.  I have seen some miserable people, joy of the Lord is the ownly answer.  We desire the Lord to give us 20/20 vision----that in a spiritual sense would be God see things clearly through our eyes so we can see them like you do.  Prayer Lord help us to forgive all our enemies and live in peace. Also may all people reach their full potential in God.  May we see how valuable the things of God really are and be thankful for them.  Praise be unto our father in Jesus name.
