Eyes to See

Synopsis Psalms 119:4-38 2/12/2022 

The psalmist marveled at God’s faithfulness in giving the law. And so, he exclaimed: If I have wide open eyes, then I will see the wonders of your teaching. 

Furthermore, he delighted in knowing God’s decrees. He viewed the precepts of the law as his counselors.   

Eyes to See 

St. Augustine argued that a person cannot do good without God’s having caused the motivation for the good behavior.  

If I have wide open eyes, then I will see the wonders of God’s teaching. Therefore, blessed is the man whose eyes have been opened.  

“But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.” Matt 13:1-17
