Scripture
II Corinthians 4:4
Satan, the god of this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News that is shining upon them.
Observation
There is a lot packed in this verse. The first thing is that the Bible is clearly stating that Satan is the “god” of this world. That has huge implications! Second is that he has the power to blind us to the “light of the Good News.” This has even bigger implications. The Good News is not that we are saved. The Good News is that we get to live within God’s kingdom right here – right now, and that if we do…we will also get to delight in the kingdom that is to come.
Application
This speaks volumes of the importance of my (our) prayers for people that are far from God and are currently blind to His kingdom. What hurts me the most is that there are many within the Church that are blind to the reality of living in God’s kingdom. Their veil of “salvation” has made them blind to living in God’s kingdom.
Prayer
Oh Lord, unveil our eyes. Allow us to see the truth. Only truth will set us free! And Jesus is the truth. In Jesus name, amen!
