“When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets. And some were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved. And disagreeing among themselves, they departed after Paul had made one statement: “The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet: “‘Go to this people, and say, “You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.” For this people’s heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭28:23-27‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,This stands out because Isaiah says, “lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.” Have we heard but never understood or seen but never perceived? Pride in ourselves can hinder us from a lot that God would have us hear and see. Are we more concerned about our will or God’s will? I think we need to know the answer to that question before making any decision. Please pray that we and our friends hear and see and God heals us. Please pray for all the victims of sex trafficking.
