We can be blind to what truly matters as we walk this journey of life. Our focus can be on the urgent things driven by the demands of our culture and we become blind to the things that enrich our life and provide meaning.
Blindness in the Bible is very often a symbol of spiritual blindness: the incapacity to see what truly matters. Focused on the worldly goods of wealth, pleasure, power, and honor, most people don’t see how blind they are to the truly important things: giving oneself to the grace of God and living a life of love. If you have not surrendered to the grace of God, you are blind.
Thank you Lord that we can cry out to God in our need for physical healing and much more. We can ask you for that one thing that finally matters: spiritual vision—to know what my life is about, to know the big picture, to know where I’m going. I can have wealth, pleasure, honor, and power. I can have all the worldly goods I desire. But if I don’t see spiritually, it will do me no good and it will probably destroy me. Through your love, I am healed and I thank you. Waiting for your renewed arrival this Advent season. Amen
