Pastor continued his message on vision. He encouraged us to recognize that life is full of vision when we are in God. God has given those who believe the ability to have an advantage by seeing. When we can see, we will reach forward, believing that what we see is attainable.
When we allow God to be our optometrist, we will be able to see how God sees. We will have His perspective on what has happened in our past, what is taking place in our present, and what we can expect in our future. When we read God’s Word, we increase our ability to see. When we can see, we will be able to change the focus of our thought life.
Col 3:1 exhorts us to seek those things that are above; i.e. seek those things from the One Who has the authority. The acronym ASK (Ask, Seek, Knock) was used. There was a popular game show in which a prize was waiting behind one of three doors. Jesus is always available knocking at the door of our hearts. Behind God’s door, there is always something good when we choose to open it. That open door will provide the vision needed for our lives. Faith in God restores sight and creates opportunities.
Everyday, in prayer, ask God to see. As you walk through the journey of your vision, take time to learn in the process and smell the fragrance of His sacrifice that He provided for your journey.
