WHAT A PRIVILEGE
"I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which
thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye." Psalm 32:8
How far can you see? How good is your sight? Can you see
accurately up to 10 meters? Maybe even 50 meters? Maybe you have a very sharp
physical sight. But how far can you see into the future? What do you see in the
next 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 years? Are you able to see every possible outcome of any
given choice or decision?
When we consider the limitations of our vision, no matter
who we are, we come to realise what an incredible privilege is offered to us,
by God Himself. He promises to instruct and inform us of the correct paths to
take in life, using—not our finite and limited vision—but His perfect,
all-seeing, all-knowing eye as our guide. The One who knows the end from the
beginning offers to lead us to the perfect destination He has prepared in
advance for us!
Knowing that each of us faces many important decisions at
different times in our lives—and recognising that even the smallest decisions
can have big ramifications for our lives—what an amazing gift this is! And,
yet, so many of us prefer to stumble blindly through the deadly course of this
world, setting our own course and choosing our own turns, just so that we can
say, “I did it my way.”
If you are wrestling today with difficult decisions, know
that God's perfect wisdom and vision is available to you—it is only a prayer
away. When we go to God, asking His help and looking into His Word for
direction, He gives us this guarantee: I will lead you where you need to go,
guiding you with my eye. What a privilege!
Prayer: Lord, be
my eyes and my guide in this life, and bring me to my destiny.
