“Anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see” (Revelation 3:18).

Yesterday I had cataract surgery on my right eye, and for the next few weeks I have to put three different kinds of drops in that eye, four times a day! All this is important to promote proper healing after surgery. Although I am faithfully putting the drops in my eye, my vision is still blurry, as it will take time for complete healing.

In our verse today, we are told to anoint our eyes with eyesalve, in order to see. This is a spiritual application of the words, for anointing in the Bible usually speaks of the Holy Spirit. Without the leading of the Holy Spirit, we do not see well spiritually. Those in the Laodicea assembly were proud, and thought they knew a lot, but they did not realize how little they really knew. They needed to walk more in fellowship with the Lord, in order to give the Holy Spirit liberty to help them see better. It is only the Holy Spirit that can enable us to see things properly in our lives. We may have good eyes naturally, but we need the Lord’s help to look at things morally in our lives in the right way, and to make good decisions.
