Sunday 15th March :WHAT DO YOU SEE

Mark 8:23-25 King James Version (KJV) 23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. 25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. What do you see! Jacob looked at Joseph and saw a good son! The ten brothers looked at Joseph and saw a useless dreamer! The travellers looking at Joseph saw a slave!! Potiphar looking at Joseph saw a dedicated,loyal servant!! Potiphar's wife saw in Joseph a potential boyfriend! The prison warden /officers saw in Joseph a prisoner! So so wrong were all of them !God saw in Joseph a go getter,an administrator,a manager,a leader ,an excellent ambassador and a Prime Minister of Egypt in waiting!! Don't be discouraged by what people see in you!! Be encouraged by what God sees in you!! Never underrate anyone,don't underestimate others because you never know what the Lord has deposited in that person. Your maid may be a Chief Executive Officer in waiting for a company which may employ your child in future. Your gardener may be a president,ambassador,governor in waiting. (Remember David got the anointing of becoming a King while he was a simple boy herding sheep. Esther was just an orphaned girl yet she was a Queen in waiting). The people in the community where jesus grew up looked at jesus with familiarity even when they saw all he was doing Mathew 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? Familiarity makes you not see that which God is preparing.you still see men as trees.a form of vision but short sighted
