Visibility

By Robin J. Steinweg –
I can not see the road in front of me. I don’t dare stop the car, or I might get hit from behind. Besides, I can’t even find the shoulder of the road if I wanted to pull over. The wind-hurled snow looks like a scene from a sci-fi movie, where the space ship leaps into hyperspace—white lines are coming at me, or maybe emanating from me—who knows anymore?
My visibility is nearly zero.
It’s dangerous not to have vision while on the road. My car might go too far in either direction; I could collide with another car head-on, or end up sideways in the ditch.
It’s also dangerous not to have spiritual vision. Without it, I have no grounding, no focus, no purpose, no moral compass to keep me from destruction. But with it—with spiritual vision, I have Someone to guide and direct me. Someone who has a plan for my life, who knows what is best for me and what I should avoid.
He can keep me safe, no matter the conditions of the road.
PRAYER: Lord, my vision will be perfect if I keep my eyes on You. If I trust in You, You will direct my path.
“Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18a KJV).
Today’s devotional is by Robin J. Steinweg. Robin’s life might be described using the game Twister: the colored dots are all occupied, limbs intertwine (hopefully not to the point of tangling), and you never know which dot the arrow will point to next, but it sure is fun getting there!
I heard a great talk on vision this week, and your words remind me of that message. I never realized how critical vision is to life before this week.
Thank you for the excellent reminder, Robin.
Thank you, Lori. It’s good to partner with others who look to God, who sees the beginning from the end!
