Sight Without Vision

Scripture
The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; The Lord raises those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous.
(Psalm 146:8)
Devotional
Tradition has it that when Helen Keller was asked, “What could possibly be worse than being blind?” she answered, “Having sight without vision.” Helen Keller was both blind and deaf. Nevertheless, God sent her a teacher to open her eyes to a world few have seen. That teacher was a young orphaned girl by the name of Annie Sullivan.
Maybe there are areas of your life that are in darkness. Maybe the Lord needs to open your blinded eyes, not with natural sight, but with the supernatural sight that comes from the illumination of the Spirit of God. I am convinced that when the student is ready, the teacher will come.
There is an Annie Sullivan waiting for you. If you are ready, she will come. And when she comes you will have vision that is beyond natural sight. Jeremiah 33:3 says, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”(1)
