CLEAR VISION

            Give us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for, because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything. --Peter Marshall

Romans 12:1-2, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

            Foggy mornings always remind me of a conversation I had with my son several years ago. We were riding to school one morning and out of the blue he said, “Dad, that fog is like sin, it clouds our way.” I was like, who are you and what did you do with my four-year old son.

            But the more I grow in the Lord and think back on that conversation, He is right on target! Sin will cloud our thought life in such a way that we will not even comprehend what we are doing. We will make wrong turns. We will go deeper and deeper into darkness. We will get caught up in the sins of this world and get lost in the midst of it all.

            Christian friend, get as close to the Light as you can and stay right there! When you do, you will have clear vision for every chapter of your life!

I CAN ONLY BEGIN TO IMAGINE!

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9

I’ve seen some wonderful sights and heard some wonderful things in my life. From the plains of Kenya, the Mighty Mississippi, to the Grand Canyon, all are wonderful sights on this Planet we call Earth. I’ve heard the sounds of echoes across the Grand Canyon, received a voice message from my children, and heard some powerful preaching from some Spirit filled preachers. However, nothing compares to the sights and sounds of Heaven! Seeing the streets of gold, walls of jasper, gates of pearl, and Jesus! Yes! I get to see My Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ in Heaven! Then the sounds of Heaven; the angels, love ones who have gone on before me, and Jesus! Yes, I get to hear my Saviour’s voice first hand, in person! Hallelujah what a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see!

I may only be able to imagine what Heaven will be like here but would it be really awe inspiring if we knew everything Heaven would be like? Would it really be Heaven? Read one more time what Paul writes to the Church at Corinth, “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
