Open My Eyes

Date: January 28, 2026

Scripture Reading: Psalm 119:18

“Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in Your law.”

This prayer reveals a posture every believer must learn. The psalmist does not assume understanding comes automatically. Instead, he asks God to open his eyes. Scripture is not merely information to be read; it is truth to be revealed. Without God’s help, we can read His Word and still miss its depth and beauty.

Psalm 119:18 reminds us that spiritual sight is a gift. God’s Word contains wonder, wisdom, and life, but it requires humility to receive it. The psalmist approaches God with expectation, believing there is more to see, more to understand, and more to be shaped by. This prayer invites God to move beyond surface reading and into heart transformation.

This verse also teaches us how to approach Scripture daily. Rather than rushing or reading out of habit, we are called to pause and invite God into the process. When our eyes are opened, familiar passages come alive, conviction becomes clear, and guidance becomes personal. God reveals what we need when we seek Him with openness.

As we continue through this season, Psalm 119:18 invites us to slow down and listen. God desires to show us wonderful things, not only about His Word, but about how it applies to our lives right now. Seeing clearly begins with asking humbly.
