True Blindness

Truly blind men are those who trust only what they see and therefore see nothing. They look at the world’s overwhelming order and design yet insist it is accidental, exercising a faith in mindless miracles far greater than anything the Bible requires. Scripture declares that creation openly displays God’s glory (Ps. 19:1) and that His eternal power is “clearly seen” in all He has made, leaving men “without excuse” (Rom. 1:20). Such blindness is therefore deliberate: to acknowledge God’s handiwork would require confessing sin and surrendering the fantasy of being one’s own god. Thus fallen man chooses blindness rather than salvation, autonomy rather than truth, and his attempts to rule a world he refuses to see inevitably collapse into disaster. Yet when men cry out in their distress, God “sends His word and heals them” (Ps. 107:20). To receive His Word is to confess His sovereignty and to recognize that reality is never merely what we see God’s hand governs all things. Do you see that?
