Spiritual Glasses

Call unto me and I will answer you and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. Jer. 33:3

The only way for you to know God’s will is for him to reveal it to you. You will never discover it on your own.

Henry Blackaby

One day we noticed our young son squinting to see something in the distance. Sure enough, he needed glasses. I will never forget the look on his face when he put on glasses for the first time – amazement and wonder as he surveyed this clear, colorful brand-new world!

One aspect of prayer is putting on spiritual glasses. We are able to see spiritual reality that is not seen with our physical eyes. I will not know the right question to ask, the best direction to go, or the counsel I even need to seek. This is why I am constantly asking God for his divine revelation and wisdom many times a day, all day long. Relying on my own best thinking is never a good plan!

Sometimes God gives his revelation as I am in the process of asking. That always makes me smile. Wow. He really does know what I need before I ask! However, most of the time, his direction comes hours, days, weeks, months, even years later. Why? Because my confidence in Jesus can only grow as I trust him through the difficulties, adversity, and the hard things of life. Ask for revelation.
