Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is
true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is
lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think
about such things.
It’s really difficult to drive west at the end of the
day. More than once the sun hitting the
car windshield has blinded me momentarily to the point I could see nothing
through that windshield. It’s frightening to be driving down the road at 50 MPH
and suddenly not to be able to see the road ahead. The other morning while walking in the park
the sun hitting my glasses also impaired my sight. If someone texts me or if I want to check my
mileage on my iPhone when I’m outside I have to find a shady spot to see the
screen. Still as I pondered all of this
I wondered what it would be like to be blinded by the Son. Jesus restored people’s eyesight for sure,
but when we turn our eyes upon Jesus we no longer see or want to see some
things of the past. We look for the good
instead of things to criticize and we don’t see some of the things that tempted
us to sin. I don’t like being blinded by
the sun but being blinded by the light of Christ -- that could be a good thing.
Holy God, direct our eyes to look upon the good, the
wholesome and the things pleasing to you. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
Happy Friday!
Paige
