"But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ.
But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
2 Corinthians 3:14-17
It's interesting here how blind minds and blind hearts are the antithesis of freedom, and that when we have the Spirit of the Lord with us, then we are free... free from that blindness and able to see clearly and make informed choices perhaps.
I like that idea, and I think that the spirit works that way... it brings insight and clarity of thought--it opens us up to ideas that we would have never thought of or considered. It helps us think outside the box and not get mired in mental/emotional obstacles, because, suddenly, we can see our way out. :) Today, let's seek to have the spirit in our lives and live so that we are always ready to listen to God's patient guidance.
