We all need glasses! Sin has destroyed our vision. We need Spiritual Glasses!
For those who need glasses realise that glasses make such a different
Answers in Genesis talk a lot having the right world view. There is a need to look at the world through God centred glasses with a view that God created the world in 6 days.
You should get your eyes tested. Eye tests can show up health issues. I was told recently that someone diagnosed with tumour after getting an eye test. It is important to have good eye sight. I was told that I had 20/20 vision after my first test but after the second I was told that there were signs of a slight deterioration.
You can even get a photograph of the back of your eye!
Have you 20/20 spiritual eye sight?
Saul had poor SPIRITUAL eye sight!
1 Samuel 17
• Verse 24 – Fled/Afraid
• Verse 25 - Have ye seen this man
• Verse 22 - Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth
• Verse 38 – You will need armour
There was no focus on God. He was relying on man!
David had 20/20 SPIRITUAL vision!
1 Samuel 17
• Verse 26 – He had the right view of man and God
• Verse 29 – he realised there was a cause
• Verse 32 – I can do this (See next)
• Verse 37 – God will deliver
• Verse 46 – There is a God!
Wear the right glasses – Look for God
We need to keep our eyes on Him. Remember what happened to Peter when he took his eyes of Christ while walking on water. He sank!
Don’t rely on self – This was Saul’s tactic
Proverbs 3:5-7 says “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.”
The right spiritual vision –
1. Builds trust
2. Gives direction
3. Helps us depart from evil
How do you view life? Do you see a problem and get depressed or do you see God has a plan for you?
Look over your life this week and ask yourself – did I have the right vision?
