Greetings Tim: I'm still pondering this . . . now I am wondering if perhaps at times, God blinds the minds of US, (meaning those who are regenerated) because of OUR lack of belief? I am reminded of the verse "I believe, help my unbelief." Mark 9:24. imo We give lip service to God; we say one thing and yet do another. We "say" we believe God is for us and "in control" and then try to grab the steering wheel of our lives . . . can we see this "blinding" as a good thing? Comments? Blessings, t PS: As a man thinks within himself, so is he Prov 23:7 - the mind-heart relationship might be the problem here. In our minds, we are "blind" to the truth of the Gospel, The Truth is revealed and perceived in the heart. When we seek to "know" the Lord apart from HIS power, apart from His revelation to us, namely by just our minds, CAN we see God? Isn't this a form of "good blindness?" Blind guides come to mind here too! |

Greetings Mommapbs! I don't know my friend! The only places I really see God blinding people are in contexts dealing with His election of Israel. He blinds them for a time to allow the Gospel to spread to the Gentiles as well. Other than that, I really haven't seen the term used. I pray that you and yours had a great Thanksgiving! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thanks Tim for your insight. I still wonder if God allows us to go blindly after our own way at times. 2 Peter 1:9? Indeed Israel is the key. However, It is sobering (and awesome!) to consider that God has done this to allow me, a Gentile, to see His Light! Blessings to you and yours. I hope you enjoyed the message I sent via e-mail too! May the Lord bless you during this season of expectation and fulfillment. Blessings, mommapbs |
