I don’t know about you, but I’m excited about the New Year! So, I have a question for you. How’s your vision? I know we all wish we could answer that it’s 20/20, however, many of us need glasses or contacts to get us to that point.
Well, this year is 2020! I know it’s not quite the same as physical vision, but the number of the year gives us an excellent opportunity to take our own “spiritual eye exam.”
Ephesians 1:8 says; I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you will know what the hope of His calling is, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.
There is a song we sing sometimes called “Open the Eyes of My Heart.” This song builds on the idea that God wants us to see with the eyes of faith! The eyes of faith go far beyond where our physical eyes will take us.
As we look ahead into 2020, there’s not a person among us who can be sure of what the future holds. Most likely, there are many questions in our minds. With the political climate so heated, many people are wondering what November of 2020 will hold. Some of you are looking at a change in employment. Along with that could come a change in your living situation. Others may be looking forward to celebrating the birth of your first or fifth child. Or, even your first or fifth grandchild!
There are so many things about each New Year that fill us with questions. We often hear in church circles that, “we don’t know what the future holds, but we know who holds the future.”
I am sure, and scripture backs this up, that there is nothing that catches God by surprise.
We must know and understand that God has great things planned for those who love Him and serve Him. I believe it is vital that we look forward in faith, not in fear!
While our physical eyes may weaken with time, I pray our spiritual eyes will become sharper. If we just take the time to look over our lives, we recognize that God has been so faithful!
God has great things for Three Point in 2020! I believe that He also has great things for you and your loved ones in 2020! So, I ask you again as we begin the New Year, “How’s your vision”?
Keep your eyes on Jesus!
