Gods Eyeglasses! I wonder how often we get so caught up in the ‘defeats’ in our lives, the times when things don’t turn out the way we want them to. So we’re depressed because an illness continues to linger, or when people don’t treat us the way we think they ought to, or when we face financial difficulties. But we are often so blinded by the pain and disappointment of our ‘defeat’ that we fail to appreciate the fact that we might be witness to something far greater that God is doing in our lives. Don’t let temporary disappointments blind you to the good God is doing in your life. Don’t assume that any disappointment is God’s last word on any situation. There is much in our world and much in our faith that we do not understand. Understanding is not the key to life, however. Faith is. Trust in God is. The Bible is like a pair of eye glasses. Think about that for a moment. The Bible is not a spiritual encyclopedia where we go to have all our questions answered. With years of studying the Bible we may never come to a sufficient understanding of why we have disappointments and defeats. God’s eyeglasses don’t allow us to see why we are going through a certain situation, but they do allow us to see what step we should take next and they assure us that whatever the future holds, the One who holds the future will never forget us nor forsake us.
