“On a certain sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there whose right hand was withered. The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely to see if he would cure on the sabbath so that they might discover a reason to accuse him. But he realized their intentions and said to the man with the withered hand, "Come up and stand before us." And he rose and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?" Looking around at them all, he then said to him, "Stretch out your hand." He did so and his hand was restored. But they became enraged and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.” -Luke 6:6:11
 
The enemy blinds us, using pride, distraction, and division to obscure our sight. This blindness hides the sin surrounding us and traps us while keeping us from seeing God's glory present in our midst.
 
Be wary of the enemy and of his blinding deceit. May Christ strip the scale of sin from our souls so we may always see ourselves in His truth. May our eyes remain clear and focused on the good God does to save our lives and the lives of His other children. And through our witness to His grace, may His glory be proclaimed throughout the world.
