Empowered Bible Studies: Seeing Through God's Eyes

Welcome to Empowered Bible Studies

Bible study is essential to our Christian walk. As we study God's Word, our personal relationship with God grows deeper and deeper. It empowers us to live for the Lord in every aspect of our lives. This is what has inspired me to do an online Bible study.

Many years ago my husband introduced me to a commentary on the book of Colossians and I was so blessed as the Scripture came to life before my very eyes. Since that day we have developed an extensive library and enjoy studying God's Word.

I have prepared some Bible studies that I would like to share with you. My prayer is that they will bless you as much as they have blessed me in preparing them. I pray your life is touched and that it would inspire you to live every moment of every day for Christ.

Seeing Through God's Eyes

How many times have we passed by people and yet we never really see them?

When we really think about how many people we come in contact with on a daily basis, on the streets, at school, at work, on the phone, at the supermarket, all these people yet do we see them as God does?

There is a song by Brandon Heath called 'Give me your eyes' which I believe has a great message where he talks about having a heart for the lost and seeing people through God's eyes.

One of the lines in the song is: All those people going somewhere, Why have I never cared? Then the Chorus says: 'Give me your eyes for just one second, Give me your eyes so I can see Everything that I keep missing, Give me your love for humanity, Give me your arms for the broken-hearted Ones that are far beyond my reach. Give me your heart for the ones forgotten Give me your eyes so I can see'

Oh my friend this song really hits home – how many times do we pass people with blinders on our eyes! My prayer is that God would rip the veil from our eyes to be able to see people as God does, to be there as a comfort to the hurting and give the message of hope to the lost. My friend our lives need to glorify God in everything we do.
