the LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down;
the LORD loves the righteous.
Yesterday we were told one of our baby grandsons was born with some type of challenge. In combination of other things it has something to do with his eyes. As I went to sleep I, like the his mom and dad and the rest of the family, was anxious. I know I am not supposed to be anxious, but, never-the-less, I was. I went to bed asking God to give me something to hold on to Him in faith. This morning I turned to my “previously” scheduled Bible reading and God brought me to the above praise psalm. Psalm 146 starts with demanding our praise to God as a command. It simply says, “Praise the LORD!” The writer goes on to give us 15 reasons to praise Him. 15!!! The above verse contains three of those reasons. Obviously the one that drew my attention is God’s power over the health of our bodies, especially our sight. Right there in the text God sent me a message about the His power and His engagement in our lives; especially the life of a little boy. This is not a promise of healing, but it is a promise that God can heal and does heal. On numerous occasions, to show His power, Jesus healed those who had trouble seeing (both physically and spiritually). See Matthew 9 and John 7. Today I will probably still be anxious as we watch God continue to unfold this miraculous journey. But, I will do so knowing that our God is powerful and highly engaged in the life and health of His children. Especially His littlest children!!! The verse also tells us that God lifts up those who are bowed down. So, today I will bow down to Him in praise and adoration as He does what He will with three little boys in the NICU. Especially as He works in the life of one who needs His power in his life.
