Considering disability in Weekend Words

How do see the disabled? Do you see them at all? #blindness#Jesus#JohnPiper

 

John 9:1-5, Contemporary English Version 

As Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been blind since birth. 

2 Jesus’ disciples asked, “Teacher, why was this man born blind? Was it because he or his parents sinned?”

3 “No, it wasn’t!” Jesus answered. “But because of his blindness, you will see God work a miracle for him. 

4 As long as it is day, we must do what the one who sent me wants me to do. When night comes, no one can work. 

5 While I am in the world, I am the light for the world.”

Weekend Words from Psalm 19

“The heavens declare the glory of God” from Psalm 19
#Psalm 19#nature #Lightstock

Psalm 19:1-6

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.

4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.

In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.

5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,

like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

6 It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
