Are you seeing with precision and clarity? Or is your vision blurry? I’m not referring to your physical eyesight, but your spiritual eyesight. As Christians we all wear spiritual glasses and from time to time, we need to check our vision. Clear spiritual vision is vital to our walk with God, our faith and how we navigate through the world. Our spiritual vision can get clouded by our natural vision. When we start to see through a natural vision, we lose clarity of who God is and who we are in Christ. Sometimes, we hesitate to get that vision checkup because we get accustomed to the lenses we are wearing. Kind of like riding with the crooked handlebars!
Proverbs 29:18
“Where there is no vision, the people will perish.”
Is it time for a vision checkup?
We have been blessed with spiritual vision and it is our responsibility to keep it clear so that we can see with precision and clarity.
Think about Paul and how he was living prior to accepting Christ, his vision was clearly physical. He was a persecutor of Christians when his actions were dictated through his natural vision, but after he was blinded, he had greater spiritual vision. When those scales fell off of his eyes, Paul’s spiritual vision was much, much clearer. He then began to flourish by following Christ’s commission to spread the gospel.
Think about this, Paul’s spiritual vision enabled him to have a clear vision for his life, to not be discouraged when he was persecuted, to speak and walk in truth regardless of the cost, to walk away from his old life of sin, and to reflect God’s love to others to bring them into God’s fold. Paul knew who was in Christ!
Do we have some things that are blocking our vision?
Is it time to upgrade your spiritual lens prescription? I think for all of us, we hear a resounding YES!!
We can go to the doctor…our Lord! Ask him to examine your spiritual eyes and accept the new prescription!
