Knowing God - He Opens, He Raises and He Loves

Ps 146:8
The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:


We learn a few things about our God in this scripture.  He is letting us know that He opens blind eyes, He lifts up those who are bowed down and He loves the righteous.  If we are blinded or someone we love is blinded, it is God who can open their eyes and help them see.  When we are discouraged or defeated, the best place to be is bowed down.  We need to bow down in humility, surrender, praise and dependence.  Then, our God will lift us up!  We also see that God loves the righteous.  This is not referring to the imputed righteousness of Christ but those who seek to do what is right in His eyes; whose ways are before Him to be searched and evaluated.  God loves those who want to do the right thing as deemed by Him!  How powerful and faithful our God is.  What horrible times when we cannot see.  What heavy times when we are brought low!  What forces oppose righteousness!  Yet, we see that the Lord is involved in all three of these seasons of our lives.  Thank You Lord that You are not angry if we are blind or bowed and that when we choose to do what’s right in these situations, You love it!
