Text: Exodus 2:1-6
Memory Verse: “And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, ‘This is one of the Hebrews’ children’” (Exodus 2:6).
Your eyes play a big role in challenging your heart to make decisions on issues. In view of this, you must train your eyes to turn away from looking at worthless things (Psalm 119:37). When Pharaoh’s daughter saw the baby in the basket on the river, her heart was touched. She could have ignored him, destroyed him in anger as commanded by Pharaoh, or had compassion on him. She chose compassion and saved Moses’ life.
Achan could not resist the urge to take the beautiful fabric he saw. His heart was determined to have it and ignore Joshua’s warnings about not taking anything. The master of the servant who owed so much money changed his instructions that he be detained when he saw him plead for mercy; he was moved with compassion and forgave him. Jesus also, several times when He saw the multitudes, was moved with compassion because they were like sheep
without a shepherd (Mark 6:34). He saw their need for help.
A calling is something you see with your eyes and affects your heart till it becomes a burden (Acts 16:10). You must train your eyes to see people who need Christ or forgiveness, then slow down to love them compassionately.
What you see will be a burden to your heart. Your feet will carry you to the place of obedience, even if it requires a change in direction (Acts 13:2-4). It is after responding to God’s call that you become sent. Can you be sent?
Prayer Points:
1. Turn my eyes from worthless things of temporary value, Lord.
2. I am available for You Lord.
