Our vision is very important. To be able to see clearly is a blessing from God.
As we age our vision may become clouded. We may need glasses or even surgery to see clearly.
In our spiritual life we have the same problem. When we first become a new Christian our vision is clear. We want to obey God’s Word. We have a desire to see people saved.
Then we grow older in the faith and we get complacent. We are not as quick to do God’s will. We do not have a vision for people who are lost.
Are you loosing your spiritual vision? Ask God’s forgiveness and get clear vision again. Read the Bible daily and pray. Then use every opportunity to tell someone about Jesus. People are perishing without someone to tell them.
What a blessing to see clearly, both physically and spiritually.
Everywhere we go the signs are still up. Stay 6 feet away from each other. In an elevator there was images of 4 sets of feet and a sign only 4 people in the elevator at a time. Are you social distancing?
The restrictions are being lifted in many places and there is different opinions on if these restrictions should be kept in place.
The one place that encourages us to get close is in God’s Word when He tells us to draw close to Him. No restrictions. Just call on Jesus and remember He is close to you at all times, if you have trusted Him as your Savior.
Psalms 73:28 – But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
Technology. It is amazing. We can be in one part of the world and communicate with people or control devices from thousands of miles away.
Technology can be used for evil like spreading pornography or it can be used for good, publishing Gods Word throughout the world.
As individuals we have abilities that are similar to technology. We can use our lives, living in sin or we can choose to accept Jesus as our Savior and live a good and fruitful life.
Romans 12:21 – Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
There is an insurance company in town that always has a interesting saying written on their sign. This one caught my eye because it reminded me of the Christian life.
God never promised that when we get saved our life will be easy. In fact the devil will attack a Christian and try to make him or her ineffective for the Lord. God did promise that He will go through our trials and testing. It is our responsibility to keep on serving Him no matter what the circumstances.
If you seem to be at a place where nothing is working in your Christian life, give it one more try. The biggest thing to remember is don’t quit. Some of the greatest inventors, statesmen, preachers and musicians failed many times befor they became successful at the goal they were trying to reach.
Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain
As Christians we need to be proud to be Americans. We have responsibilities as citizens. Stand up for our freedoms given to us by the constitution. Vote so that the government is run by leaders of our choice. Teach our children and grandchildren, first the principles taught in the Bible, then the history of the USA.
Ephesians 6:14-17 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of tthe gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Refrain: Are you washed in the blood? In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless, are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Do you rest each moment in the Crucified? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright, And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin, And be washed in the blood of the Lamb; There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean, Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
This is an old hymn with questions that ask us if we are truly saved and on the way to Heaven . If you do not know this hymn, go to YouTube which has many different groups singing this beautiful old, thought provoking hymn.
This is my Father’s world: O let me ne’er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. This is my Father’s world: The battle is not done. Jesus, who died, shall be satisfied, When earth and heaven be one. Jesus, who died, shall be satisfied, When earth and heaven be one.
This is the third verse of a wonderful old hymn. “This is my Father’s world.”
We sometimes feel that everything is wrong in the world in the world is spinning out of control. However, we must remember that this is our Father’s world.
Our Father is GOD. Creator of the Universe. This hymn says it all. He can be your Father, too. He sent His Son, Jesus, to pay the penalty for your sin. Invite Jesus to be your Savior and you can know the peace that God is in control.
