I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, … whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle” – Psalm 32:8b-9a,c
Sorry, but this verse reminds me of a scene from the movie “Men In Black” — let me tell you how.
An alien was hiding under a table in the morgue while an unsuspecting Mr. Smith, a Special Agent, interviews the doctor. Trying to warn the agent without getting herself killed, Dr. Weaver kept looking in the alien’s direction — the doctor was trying to guide agent Smith with her eyes but he wasn’t alert enough to get it.
In our passage God is saying his guidance is with his eyes, so it requires a certain alertness on our part. Instead of having to be jerked around like a horse or mule God wants us to be sensitive to his subtle painless guidance.
Sound Bite:Don’t be like a mule, let God guide you with his eyes – it’s less painful.
Prayer:Father, help me to be so close to you that I can be guided by your eye. Amen
