3 Bible Verses About Spiritual Blindness
The veiled soul often walks in shadows, mistaking fleeting forms for eternal substance. This spiritual dimness, a failure to apprehend the divine light, prevents us from discerning the true path and purpose God lays before us. To confront this inner darkness and seek clarity, we turn to the sacred pages. Scripture holds the lamp unto our feet, illuminating the depths of our condition and revealing the divine grace capable of restoring our sight, guiding us toward authentic wisdom and the full glory of His truth.

The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
These scriptural insights lay bare the pervasive nature of spiritual blindness—not merely a lack of knowledge, but often a willed obscurity, a heart hardened against the very light it needs. The blindness revealed here stems less from external darkness than from an internal refusal to see, born of self-love or spiritual inertia. Reflect upon these passages not as distant diagnoses, but as mirrors reflecting your own soul's capacity for willful dimness. To overcome this deep-seated malady requires more than intellectual assent; it demands humility, relentless prayer, and a persistent turning towards the source of true sight. May grace grant us eyes that see, ears that hear, and hearts receptive to the divine illumination these verses implore us to seek.
