Restored Vision

Elder Sean D. Smith

Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him. So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything. And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.” Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.

 

- Mark 8:22-25, NKJV

Seeing isn’t always believing, but believing is seeing when it comes to the Kingdom of God. Know that what you see now may not be what you see when God places His hand upon your situation…but are “you” willing to wait long enough for things to come into focus? Understand that there’s “your” time and then there’s God’s time, but only one of those is the timing always right (hint: it’s not yours). Now before you scoff at your “wait” time, think about all of the things from this world that you willingly wait for (burgers, cable, plumbing, clothes, DMV, mail, etc.) while receiving “suspect” service…then acknowledge that outside of you no one else has a greater vested interest in your success or well being than the Lord - Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers (3 John 1:2, NKJV). Are “you” though willing to humble yourself enough to allow God’s touch to correct your vision that you no longer see as “self” or even as the world sees, but rather as His Spirit directs? If so then allow God’s “restored vision” to enable your walk according to His plan and in step with His righteousness…then watch how you see clearly for the first time.

BE BLESSED!
