Sight Adjustment When I am not wearing my glasses, everything a few feet away strains my vision, and anything past that is a blur. I have been wearing glasses for about 20 years, but sometimes there are situations where I can’t or won’t wear them. When that happens, I invariably miss most of what is going on around me. What’s happening at the moment that we fail to see the whole picture. When that happens, those relatively small matters that have our attention become too important to us. If we would only step back, we would realize that bigger and ultimately more important things are going on outside of our range of sight; we would see what we have been missing. Sometimes we’re too shortsighted to see the bigger picture; other times we pass through fog, or obstructions block our view; and yet other times the big picture is just too big for us to comprehend. Whatever the case, we can take comfort in knowing that God sees and understands it all clearly, and that one day we will too. The apostle Paul put it nicely: “Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but [in the next life] we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.” Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
