ANGLICAN COMMUNION DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY.
The Topic of Daily Fountain Devotional for 1st August 2024 Is “Dimness Of Spiritual Eyes”
Read: Genesis 27: 1-13(NKJV)
1 Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” And he answered him, “Here I am.”
2 Then he said, “Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
4 And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”
5 Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it.
6 So Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Indeed I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
7 Bring me game and make savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of the Lord before my death.’
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to what I command you.
9 Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make savory food from them for your father, such as he loves.
10 Then you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, and that he may bless you before his death.”
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man.
12 Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring a curse on myself and not a blessing.”
13 But his mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.”
ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 1ST AUGUST 2024.
There is no doubt that the spiritual controls the physical. Every Christian must as a matter of fact believe and covet to live in this truth. Our passage today records that Isaac was old and his eyes were dim that he could not see. However, the dimness of his spiritual eyes here was more of his problem than that of the physical eyes. He was going to release his blessings on the wrong person, if not for the intervention of the wife, Rebecca, who had inquired of the Lord (Gen. 25: 23). Inability to see with the eyes of the Spirit will always leave a Christian relying on the physical sight, which is limited. Many of the mistakes we make today are a result of our spiritual blindness.
Even David, who lived in a time when the Holy Spirit was not yet resident in man, understood the importance of hearing from God before taking any step; the Scriptures tell us that he enquired of the Lord…and the instructions from God were almost always different in each case. Are your eyes dim? Reject dim spiritual eyes. Pray for spiritual insight so you will not make wrong choices.
PRAYER: Lord, may I not be presumptuous and careless in life, but always seeking your face in every situation.
