Philippians 3:15
Following Paul’s Example
All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. (NIV)
So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you’ll see it yet!(MSG)

Thoughts…
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
(Jimmy Cliff)
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sun-shining day
It’s gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sun-shining day
Oh yes I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow I’ve been praying for
It’s gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sun-shining day
I have said before our lives are not always filled with rainbows and unicorns. There are times when all we see in front of us is total darkness. It is during those times we cling tightly to God and pray He will take it all away.
Sometimes He doesn’t take it away. Sometimes He walks through it with us. A good prayer during those moments is to ask God to reveal your next step. Shine a light on your the path. Adjust your vision so you can see clearly which way to go. He is the ultimate optometrist. You may not see the whole picture at once, but He will reveal a clear spot for your foot to go next or keep the light right where it is so you will stay put!
