God is always doing something good in our lives. He answers our prayers. He bails us out, again and again. Then the next time a problem comes up, we act like God’s miracle never happened. How quickly we forget! When we can’t remember past blessings, we start fearing the future. We stop thinking that God can do it again, because we forget that He did it the first time. Spiritual vision is essential in the life of a Christian. Without clear vision, you lose hope. When you can’t see your way clearly it means you’ve lost your vision. We can hope back by seeing our lives from God’s eternal perspective.
This is the Gospel – that God doesn’t stand on the shoreline telling us what to do. He comes out to meet us where we are – in our pain – in our fears – in our discouragement. In spite of us – He comes to us!
“Then he saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea and would have passed them by.” – Matthew 6:48 NKJV
