Reflection
In today's readings, divine judgment confronts human pride and spiritual blindness. Ezekiel 25-27 proclaims God's judgment on nations celebrating Israel's downfall, particularly Tyre's arrogance. Psalm 85 pleads for restoration. John 9 reveals Jesus giving sight to the blind while exposing religious leaders' spiritual blindness, showing that true vision comes through encountering Christ.

The key insight we can draw from these passages is this: God judges pride and restores the humble, opening eyes to see His truth while exposing those who claim sight but remain spiritually blind.

Let's break this down into a simple principle:

Humble yourself before God's judgment, seek His restoration, and let Him open your eyes to spiritual truth.

Here are five practical steps we can take to apply today's readings:

1. Identify one area of pride in your life and confess it to God.

2. Ask someone you trust to point out a blind spot you might have.

3. Pray for one person who seems spiritually blind to encounter Jesus.

4. Read Psalm 85 slowly and pray it back to God for personal restoration.

5. Thank God for one specific way He has opened your spiritual eyes.

As you go about your day, reflect on this question: Where might pride be blinding you to God's truth in your life?

Conclusion
Thank you for joining me today. God's justice confronts our pride, but His mercy restores the humble. Let Him open your eyes to see truth clearly. Until tomorrow, may you walk in humility and spiritual sight.
