Integrity, character, and honesty do not require Braille for the blind to see.
Job 2:8-10
Walter Johnson is one of the greatest baseball pitchers to ever play the game. Beginning in the 1927 and continuing for over 20 years, he held strikeout records that lasted over 70 years.
In baseball lingo, he threw heat.
In addition to being an elite athlete, he was something of a quotemeister.
When asked how he managed to strike out so many batters, he said, “You can’t hit what you can’t see.”
Indeed.
Out of the five senses, the gift of sight is the most precious.
Think about it, if you could pick just one, which one would you keep?
Sight, taste, smell, touch, and hearing…
To me, it’s not even close.
Do you ever think what it would be like to be blind?
I know I do and it’s not a nice thing to think about.
So try this exercise…
Think of something you enjoy looking at.
Now, imagine that you’re blind and you can no longer see it?
Do you think you’d still be able to see it?
After all, if you look at something and capture the image in your mind, you can still see it when you turn away from it. It’s one of the wondrous things about our mind – our memory.
The “mind’s eye”… aka visual memory.
Can we see things that are invisible?

Job 2:8-10
8 Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes.
9 His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die!”
10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”
