I have worn glasses as long as I can remember. I did wear contacts for a while, but I have given that up, and now just wear the glasses. Without them I can not see everything clearly. Images are fuzzy, and if I am not close enough to things I can not read them. Some of you know what I am saying, and understand what this is all about. Some of you have to be far away from things if you don’t have your glasses, but you still get the point. Without my corrective lenses, my vision is not clear.
This is true of our spiritual vision as well. Ever had a fuzzy spiritual vision? Where things just were not clear on how or what we should do? Or been intimidated by a situation? Where does our bravado come from? Our inner being? Does our tenacity come from ourselves, or some where else?
In 2 Chronicles 32 we see King Hezekiah ready to stand against the Assyrians. The Assyrians were the power house of the day and no one stood against them. However King Hezekiah knew he had a source of power much greater than anything the Assyrians could bring against him. In 2 Chronicles 32:7 we see King Hezekiah saying, “Be strong and courageous, do not fear or be dismayed because of the King of Assyria nor because of all the horde that is with him; for the one with us is greater than the one with him.” (emphasis added). Hezekiah knew that God would see him through anything, he had a clear vision of who God was and through God who he was to be.
So take hold of a 20/20 spiritual vision and hold tight to Hezekiah’s words: for the one with us is greater than the one with him. God will provide, and meet your every need, cling to him and see the world and your self as he sees you!
