| See No Evil ◆ Speak No Evil ◆ Hear No Evil |
In spite of that, Christianity instills the opposite.
A hymn by Clara H. Scott(1841-1897), an ordinary lady who loved God dearly. And who surrendered herself to pursue teaching music in a Ladies Seminary, Lyons, Iowa(1859) states:
Open my eyes, that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready my God, Thy will to see,
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine!
Ready my God, Thy will to see,
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine!
Open my ears, that I may hear
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear.
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear.
Open my mouth, and let me bear,
Gladly the warm truth everywhere;
Open my heart and let me prepare
Love with Thy children thus to share.
Gladly the warm truth everywhere;
Open my heart and let me prepare
Love with Thy children thus to share.

You may wonder, hence why did the bible instruct us distinctively? Well, God desires that we open our eyes to see His Goodness. Whether it is through His works, or possibly the little blessings we often take for granted. He wants us to open our ears to hear the Word of God. Why? Because from now up to the very end of our life, we are never to be content with our knowledge of Him. We may be content with other things throughout this world, but not with the Word of God living in our hearts. Opening our mouths to preach the Gospel, so that those who are lost will turn back to the Lord.
In Conclusion, the three wise monkeys aren't the wisest after all. Keep in mind to always open our ears to hear God's goodness and Truth, Open our Mouths to spread the Word of God!
"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace."
Acts 20:24
