Jeremiah 1:11 Then the LORD said to me, "Look, Jeremiah! What do you see?"

When you look at your life what do you see? Do you see failure, discontent, hard times and blisters? Or do you see victory, prosperity, and joy in the Lord because of the wonderful work Christ is doing in your life. Do you look at your circumstances and wonder what am I going to do? Or do you look at an opportunity for God to show His power in your life. Every one of us look at things differently, but everyone of us should strive in our lives to see like God see's.

1Co 13:12 Now we see things imperfectly.

We look at things like you would see them in a house of mirrors. All of the distortions confuse our hearts and minds into thinking they are real. The only way we will see clearly is to get through whatever you are going through. The end of whatever it is will reveal the truth. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. This is what Paul is trying to get through to us. We live too much for the “NOW”. This is why everything gets distorted. Jesus did tell us not to worry about tomorrow but when you look at our lives everything has something to do with the future. What you do today effects your future. What you believe, how you react, where you go, what words we speak effect our whole life. Not just the “NOW”. If it was simple every person on earth would be saved and living the white picket fence life. But that just isn't the way it is. Today is important to God, but your future is even more important. You and I have to cling to the truth of Gods word.

2Kings 6:16 "Don't be afraid!" Elisha told him. "For there are more on our side than on theirs!" (17) Then Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes and let him see!" The LORD opened the young man's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire. (18) As the Aramean army advanced toward him, Elisha prayed, "O LORD, please make them blind." So the LORD struck them with blindness as Elisha had asked.

God wants our eyes open and the enemies eyes blinded. Don't be afraid. Just as Elisha could see clearly what God had waiting for the enemy He wants us to see too. It is great if you can't see to have a man or woman of God praying for your eyes to be opened. God gives a remedy for it in Revelation chapter 3. He will sell you eye salve. It can not be purchased at Walgreen or Walmart and you can only receive it by faith. Just like everything else with God , faith is the only thing that works. Apply the salve, open your eyes, and witness everything God has for your life now and when you get to the future you can look back and enjoy knowing you made it with eyes wide open and willing for the next challenge waiting for your life.
