I remember in college singing the old hymns in chapel
service. I didn’t need to open up my
hymnal to sing because my eyes were so good that I could follow the words of
the song from the open hymnal held by a student in the row in front of me! But now, I need glasses for reading. My eyes are getting older, and I have lost
that great vision that I used to have. But
before you laugh at me, let me remind you that you’re getting older too! That’s the way it is in life. As time goes on, we get older and we lose our
physical vision. But all too often we
lose our spiritual vision as well. We
used to see well, but we don’t anymore.
And we used to be close to God, but we aren’t any more. Hey, we need to get that spiritual vision
back. We can get our physical vision
back (somewhat) by getting glasses or contacts, and we can get our spiritual
vision back by getting back into reading God’s Word, the Bible. Solomon said it in Proverbs 29:18, “Where
there is no vision, the people perish…” Hey,
make a commitment to get your spiritual vision back, and start right now! Get back into reading your Bible and get back
into that prayer closet! And get back to
church this Sunday. I’ll even save you a
seat.
