| Seeing clearly? |
Most people dread the day they have to start wearing glasses
or contact lenses, it’s seen as a sign of age, the body deteriorating. But
glasses sharpen things up, whether close up or in the distance; they transform
a blur and bring clarity to long-distance views or short-distance words.
How we long to see things clearly, particularly when it
comes to God’s purposes for our life. Caleb is an inspiration. He never lost
his vision, never stopped trusting God and he persevered, not for himself but
for his people. 85 years old and still as clear-sighted as ever, ready to take
the land he had been promised 45 years earlier because he never lost focus on
God’s promises and his part in God’s plans.
Is there some ground you are still waiting to take? Have you
ever been afraid of the ‘giants in the land’ and so said ‘no’ to moving
forward? It’s not too late, in fact it’s time to look up, see clearly and get
into the land you have been promised. As Carl says, ‘Isn’t it time the men of our day followed in the footsteps of Caleb?’
Not only his footsteps, but his sharp, clear-sighted vision of what God can do.
