We all know how wondrous it was that Jesus made the blind eyes see. I think it is equally miraculous that He made -and continues to make- the seeing eyes blind. Remember Brother Andrew's actions as he crossed the borders of Communist eastern European countries with a car full of Bibles? He would barely hide them at times. Sometimes he would leave them exposed as a seal on his deepest conviction - that God would have to take charge of His own word. And they would routinely get through customs after praying, "Lord, you made the blind eyes see. Now make the seeing eyes blind."...
I have been reading Wylie's history of the Covenanters during the era of the Stewart kings. How they were persecuted, hounded, murdered - by tens of thousands by those "tragic Stewarts"...(!!!)...Rome and the Catholic establishment in England had taken over all almost all instruments of church and state - one of the blackest periods in English history...But what they didn't see what that many of the old English families had gone to Holland, begging William of Orange, a great Protestant leader, to come and claim the throne, liberating the country. And in spite of the comprehensive spy structures of the Roman church, his preparations were not discovered until it was too late to adequately respond...And God sent "Protestant" winds and weather conditions as another contribution to William's success in the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
So many instances of this in history...Who can contend with God?

we were talking about persecution in the church just today...in scott's sermon. and how painful it is and will be. and how in control of it god is. how he is moving everything on until final judgment and gathering of his people home....
In The Hiding Place Corrie Ten Boom's (spelling?) Bible not being discovered by the prison guard when she is naked and holding it.
