“The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.” Proverbs 20:1212The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them. (Proverbs 20:12)
It is only the Lord who can work in the hearts of our children and give them to hear and see the things of God, His Word, His Person, His work, and His ways. Today we can pray that the Lord would open their ears to His voice (see Job 33:1616Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, (Job 33:16)) and open their eyes to behold wondrous things out of His law (see Psa. 119:1818Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. (Psalm 119:18)). In Matthew 918While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. (Matthew 9:18), the blind men came to the Lord Jesus, and He asked them, “Believe ye that I am able to do this?” They said unto Him, “Yea, Lord.” Then touched He their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it unto you.” And their eyes were opened (Matt. 9:28-3028And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. 30And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. (Matthew 9:28‑30)). The Lord honored the faith of the blind men long ago, and He will honor the faith of parents who bring their children to Jesus today.
