The exact cause of them is unknown, but it is suspected that instances of increased blood pressure such as sneezing or coughing violently, heavy lifting or even laughing forcefully can lead to this condition. Often, this condition looks more alarming than it really is, but when should you see a doctor? What causes broken blood vessels?īurst blood vessels in the eye happen when a tiny blood vessel breaks just underneath the conjunctiva, which is the clear surface of your eye. Many of us refer to these as burst blood vessels in the eye-the technical term for it being “subconjunctival hemorrhage.” In other words, it’s a delicate blood vessel in your eye that has broken-for one reason or another. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand" ( Psalm 37:24).Seeing a spot of red in your otherwise white eyeball can be alarming. "The steps of a good man are ordered by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way. Spiritually, our hearts and intellects are not our own, but they are our Lord's and we have no spiritual right to fill them with the things of evil and falsity, which mar the vessels of the Lord, and destroy His image in our manhood. And to this purpose we should devote our abilities. "Be ye clean, that bear the vessels of Jehovah." "The vessels of Jehovah," spiritually, are the human heart and intellect, which were formed to be useful vessels, holding the heavenly love and the spiritual intelligence which belong to angelic men. We have need to fix our minds upon the fact that it is absolutely necessary for every man to be re-formed and regenerated, before he can be saved from the hell which evil makes in those who love it. "Evil shall slay the wicked," because it is the nature of evil to destroy spiritual life. ![]() God does not curse any man, however evil, but He seeks to save the man, by reformation and regeneration. These curses are representative and they apply to the evil and false principles which dwell in the minds of unregenerate men, and which curse the men who cherish such things. ![]() You will observe that, in the context, certain punishments were pronounced upon the rebellious Israelites, somewhat resembling the curses pronounced by Moses, ages before. For Israel represented the church in men not merely the external organizations of the church, but more especially the inward church, in the minds of men, the principles which form human character and life. But the inward and spiritual sense of our text applies to all men, at all times, who are in similar conditions of character. By various means, as great trials, droughts, wars, pestilences, and even severe captivity abroad, the Lord sought to re-form this stiff-necked people. ![]() As long as any capacity for goodness remained uncorrupted in the Israelites, they were, to the Lord, as clay in the hands of the potter and it was still possible for them to be re-formed, remodeled, into better conditions of character. In the text and context, the literal reference is to Israel, living in confirmed evil. They have formed a hell in their own hearts and lives, and in which they prefer to live. Henceforth, such men, spiritually speaking, are good for nothing for not even the Divine skill can induce them to be remodeled into anything good. And when they break, they cannot be made whole again.Īnd then it will be no longer possible for the Divine Potter to form any useful vessel from such men, because they have permanently rejected and resisted any Divine leadings. If men are determined to love evil and falsity, and to live in sin, and to neglect the Divine warnings, and to resist the Divine leadings and teachings, and to prefer evil, rather than goodness then such men fix and confirm their hearts in evil character and they reach a condition in which they are no longer plastic to the hand of the Divine Potter but they have baked themselves hard and set, in the fires of self-love and their elasticity has one.
