Eyes to See, and See Not

Thought for Meditation

When an individual possesses eyes to see and ears to hear,
yet does not actually hear the truth of God's Word or see the wisdom of God's Word,
it is specifically because
that individual's heart is filled with rebellion against the Lord our God and His Holy Word.

Ezekiel 12:2 
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, 
which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: 
for they are a rebellious house.

Jeremiah 5:21-24
Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; 
which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: 
Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, 
which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, 
that it cannot pass it: 
and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; 
though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? 
But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. 
Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, 
that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: 
he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. 

Jeremiah 5:3-4
O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? 
Thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; 
thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: 
they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return. 
Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: 
for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
