Last Wednesday I went back to the eyeglass place to pick up my new glasses for the second time. The first time my wife talked me into bi-focals (since I am old now). They didn’t work too well for me because when I work in the print shop I use my peripheral vision more than I thought. So I was in a state of blindness. I tried for over two weeks to get used to them but it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

When I picked the new glasses up, I took my mom for a ride to Monroeville with me. When I came out I couldn’t believe the detail in everything that I could see! It reminded me of the first time that I got glasses when I was in first grade. My mom was there also and I remember thinking even back that far how I could actually see the edges of things, the definition of each leaf on the trees, the amount of signage that I had just been looking past because it wasn’t in focus.

After pick up we went to lunch and I can remember looking out the window of Boston Market and feeling like my brain was going to explode because of the increased amount of input that my brain was having to process. It is so hard to believe how much I was missing.

This made me think of each of our spiritual journeys. We all wander around thinkng that we see (and know) all there is to know about the things of God but we may have an old prescription and we are just getting by with seeing general things, when God actually wants to sharpen our eyesight to see things more clearly, more of His details, more of Him.

My prayer for all that read this post, as well as everybody else, is that we could all see the things of God more clearly to His Glory, Amen!
