THOUGHTS FOR SUNDAY
Ray Stevens is generally given credit for writing the phrase "There is none so blind as he who will not see", a line from the song "Everything is Beautiful." But preacher Matthew Henry used the phrase 250 years go when commenting on the lyrics of another songwriter Asaph (Psalms 82:2-3. Asaph's lyrics re not as upbeat as Stevens'. His song was a rebuke to the Israelites for failing to fulfill their God-given purpose. In his comentary on Psalm 82, Henry wrote: "A gift in secret blinds their eyes. They know not because they will not understand. None so blind as those who will not see. They have baffled their own connsciences, and so they walk in darkness."
