Is Your Ability to See God Blinded?
Today’s devotional from Oswald Chambers.
Sometimes I do believe that my ability to see God becomes cloudy. I get so distracted with what is going around me that I forget to breathe and look up. To look up and realize that everything happens for a reason and this is just a test of my faith that God is putting me through.
My vision was very blinded when it was coming to make the decision for school. I didn’t know whether or not I could go back to Biola University. I was so wrapped up in the thought “I had to get out of my house” and “I want to have the college experience of leaving home and coming back during vacations.” But really finishing at the school where it all started.
Lately, I have been looking at the heavens and realized that Biola is not the place for me anymore. I came to this realization in my Sociology class “Race and Ethnic Relations;” I may not be given the opportunity to hear different worldviews on political or sociological issues in the school; however don't get me wrong I absolutely love the school and the friends I made there. I needed the time away from Biola to really find myself and not put school before anything else because school was something that I always had in my hand, and when God took that away from me—I knew who was in control.
“If we are children of God, we have a tremendous treasure in nature and will realize that it is holy and sacred. We will see God reaching out to us in every wind that blows, every sunrise and sunset, every cloud in the sky, every flower that blooms, and every leaf that fades, if we will only begin to use our blinded thinking to visualize it.
