My Vision...again.
I'm back. I have to God is really busy in my life.
e
A couple of years ago, I had cataract surgery. The eye professionals had been telling me for a long time that I will have to have it done in my 50's-60's, which is much earlier than typical. My surgeon was truly used by God and everyone got blessed, whether they realized that it was a God-thing , or not.
This year I noticed that I had floaters,or a film beginning to cover my left eye. My vision started to become obscured, like looking through smudged windows. I saw my regular eye doctor, who validated my description. It turns out that when the cataract surgery is done early, the eye tries to grow another lens. Look at the remarkable nature of God's creation.
No lens will actually grow there but rather leave a film to obscure the vision. What I'm looking at is not distorted, mis-shapened, nor fuzzy. It's just my body trying to do what is unneeded or necessary. But it is a hindrance..So she said that it is a simple fix. She referred me back to one that is more skilled and has greater expertise in fixing the problem. He will dilate the one eye, laser clean the film, and send me on my way.
Our spiritual vision is the same way. When we are born-again, Jesus gives us new vision, new understanding and clarity. Then our flesh wants to grow something that is unneeded and unnecessary, hindering our vision. We can't even blame satan for it. He doesn't get credit for that. It is our own flesh in the way. If we will but go to the Holy Spirit and confess our problem, the rest of the Triune God goes to work. And if we will submit to their work, as in a surgeon's chair, things get cleared up in fairly short order.
I was ready for them to do the cleanup right now. Alas, i have to wait my turn for the human beings. However, not so with God. There is no line,no wait. Just ask.
Romans 12:2

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
