HOLY WINDSHIELD!

As I lay in bed this morning, in that moment of fresh awakening, I had a quick vision from the Lord.

I saw a windshield in front of me – what I would see if I was in the car looking out. The windshield was spotted with many black dots. As this vision quickly disappeared, I asked the Lord what I was seeing. I “heard” the following in my spirit:

“As you go through life, there are many things that can clutter up your vision so that you are not seeing as clearly as you should. Just like bugs on a windshield, these things can cloud and cause your vision to be compromised.”

Brothers & Sisters, I invite you to join me in seeking out those things that are inhibiting us from having CLARITY OF VISION.

What could some of these things be? Unforgiveness, critical spirit, pride, doubt, disappointment, self-pity and too much busyness in our lives are some that I can think of. Can you think of others that would interfere with us having GOD’S VISION flowing in our lives?

I hear the Lord saying:

“It’s time to clean the windshield!”

Lord, may Your Living Water wash away all those things that are inhibiting our vision! We position ourselves before you for a fresh cleaning, a fresh preparation for all that is coming! May we see through Your eyes! May the Holy Spirit be our “windshield!”  

This Holy Windshield not only will give us clear vision…but we will be protected from the winds of destruction that try to beat us down! Hallelujah!!

Lord, YOU are our VISION! YOU are our GUIDE! YOU are our PROTECTION! GLORY!!

We are ready for a FRESH CLEANING! AMEN!


FOCUS!

I am not a photographer.  And most of the time I forget to take pictures of life events because I just am not thinking about taking photos.  I am enjoying the moment…but later realize I missed the opportunity to hold on to that moment through a visual record.

So!  As I have been more proactive about taking photos, I have begun to realize they are not really that good – I just point and click.  I have begun to look online to see how to take better quality iPhone photos.

There are many links that share how to improve my photo-taking ability.  I have noticed that one “help” is to pay attention to what I want to focus on.  As I frame my photo, I am to tap on the part of the photo I want to be in focus.  Then I lock it in so it will not change as I continue in my capturing the moment.  It appears that the “auto-focus” isn’t always our friend.

I couldn’t help but see the spiritual application to all of this!  Brothers and Sisters, it is so important to be conscious of what we focus on as we journey through life.  There are so many things that are in our line of vision…so many things that are happening around us.

Do we just go through life with the “auto-focus” on…letting life events choose where we place our attention?  Or do we allow God to help us fine tune our focus to those things that we need to see with clarity and precision.

Lord, may You be the one who “taps” on what needs to be in focus in my life. May I allow You to be my vision, my direction, my guide.  May the things that are trying to get my attention away from the main thing become blurry and peripheral to what You are calling me to.  May my mind and focus be fully and intently and clearly on YOU in all things!  GLORY!

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. (Romans 8:5 ESV)

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.  (Colossians 3:2  ESV)
