#6044 – Cleanse My Lens

Good morning people who earnestly desire to walk in the Light of Truth.

Psalm 119:18 NIV Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.

I find myself praying, “Father, cleanse my lens.”

We know that a lens is something that we look through and it changes how we see things. According to the dictionary, a lens also involves the concentrating or dispersing of light rays.

Our vision must not be separated from the light of God. Let me explain.

Have you ever been asked the question, “How do you see this?”

It’s a common one and it is to do with our opinion or thoughts on something. There are times when this is OK, but there are many times when this question is a wrong question to ask.

Here is the question that a Christian should be frequently asking:

“Father, how do You see this?”

While this question sounds a bit radical for some, it is the right question for us all. The sooner we can move beyond ourselves and our thoughts and feelings to God’s thoughts and feelings and how He sees things, the better things will be.

We are empowered by seeing things accurately, and by accurately I mean, according to God’s truth, not simply by natural facts. We are of a spiritual kingdom my friends.

If you’ve had a pair of glasses, you would know that you need to clean them periodically. You don’t do this because the lens doesn’t work, but because something external is on the lens that is obstructing you from seeing according to the lens’s full potential. It is equally true in the spiritual.

May we be people who allow the Word of God and the Spirit of God to be the Author of Truth in our lives.

“Father, cleanse my lens.”
