Flew to San Antonio Texas yesterday. When we took off it was dreary and overcast. Not long after takeoff we broke through the clouds and saw blue skies and an ocean of fluffy white clouds. I thought, “God gets a sunny day every day.” This passage from Ephesians came to mind…
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. 1:18-19 (NIV)
When we are down in the trenches of work/ministry, it is very hard to see past the next task, person, or obstacle. We view the world from a physical perspective. Paul understood that and continuously prayed for the Ephesian Christians to see the reality of their position in Christ. Seeing life with my spiritual eyes gives me a whole new perspective on my cloudy days.
Prayer: God, open the eyes of my heart. Enlighten me so I can fully understand the hope you give, how rich I am being your child, and how to unleash the power you have for me. Let me see my day through spiritual eyes. Amen.
