Pass The Eyes Please

Proverbs 29:18 – “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”

When asked to explain the difference between himself and the average person, Albert Einstein answered with this. The average person, when asked to find the needle in the haystack will stop when he finds the needle. Einstein said that he didn’t stop until he was sure he had found ALL possible needles in the haystack.

“The real act of discovery is not in finding new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.” – Marcel Proust

Tonight I was lacking the vision to write something fresh and new. At times like this I marvel at the wondrous nature of the Word of God. The fact that there is this book of words that have been read innumerable times and yet if you ask anyone who has read it time and time again, and they will tell you that they get something new and fresh from it each instance. Incredible.

The most amazing thing about this is the fact that God used people…just like you and me to accomplish this. It means that while we should not think we would be writing things that compete with God’s word…it does shed some light on the capabilities that we have within us when we hook up with God.

Our vision is only limited by the blinders we put on ourselves. Take a moment and survey your life. What blinders have you put on yourself? Money, time, family background, relational problems, insecurities, and the list could go on and on. These and many more are all blinders that we put on ourselves. We allow these things to limit the dreams and the possibilities that we see for ourselves, when in fact there should be nothing that limits us.

Take some time today for creating a vision.

Have a blessed day,
