VISION TEST
Today's reading: Psalm 119

It's time. Yes, it's time. Time for your vision to be screened, tested, scrutinized, monitored, checked--whatever you call it, it's time!

You've been spending a lot of your time looking around in confusion. You've tripped up more than a few times looking back instead of forward. You're eyes are red and bloodshot. They're tired and droopy.

You're wasting too much of life looking at things that shouldn't even cause blips on the radar screen of your life: what your neighbor's doing, where satan might be next, who is not living what they're preaching, scrapbooks of your life before Christ, behind doors that you've had to pry open with your bare hands and all the energy you could muster. You're looking to be disappointed, hurt, broken and left empty. You're seeing more bad than good.

It's time for me to fill you in on a little secret...your vision has been sorely affected.

The treatment?

Glasses aren't required in most cases. No eyedrops. No pirate patches. It's all a matter of looking at different things!

"My eyes are straining to see your promises come true..." Psalm 119:82 NLT

Look into His Word. Look for answers to prayer. Look up. Look to Him for help. Look for the doors He opens. Look for blessings in the craziest of places. Look for Jesus in the hardest of people. Look to be lifted up when you step into His presence. Look for opportunities to lean on Him. See things through the excitement and enthusiasm of God's grand plan. See the good in every situation. Look for the creativity of our Creator.

I'm not sure what's better than 20/20 vision, but you're on your way there if you take the psalmist's advice!
