(Not) Seeing and BelievingSample

Failing to hear and see
All through the Bible, we read about prophets who spoke in God’s name. Some of their messages are written down for us to read as well. Sometimes the people listened to their words. But all too often, the prophets were ignored or even opposed because the people did not like their message.
The Lord had appointed the Israelites as His chosen people. They should be an example to other nations in obeying God’s commandments and living according to His will. But they didn’t live up to their calling. God complained about His servant Israel: “He sees many things, but does not observe them; his ears are open, but he does not hear” (Isaiah 42:20).
The Israelites were not the only ones with this problem. Maybe you are in the same situation: you know what God requires from you, but you don’t want to surrender to Him. If this is the case, take this Biblical warning seriously: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts” (Hebrews 3:15). Do not remain deaf and blind any longer, but take God's message to heart!
About this Plan

“Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen”, it says in Hebrews 11:1. The Christian faith is largely about things you can’t see with your natural eyes. However, you need not believe blindly. When God opens your spiritual eyes, there is a lot to see! This reading plan covers several Bible verses about blindness, restored sight, (not) seeing, and believing.
