Blind Spot

Psalm 146:8 – “The Lord makes the blind see again. The Lord helps those who are in trouble. The Lord loves those who do right.”

     Those of us who drive know that there are particular areas around our vehicle known as ‘blind spots’. When we are driving, changing lanes or backing up it is often difficult or nearly impossible to see anything that is lingering in that blind spot.  When zooming down the freeway at more than 60 mph it can be quite daunting to attempt to change lanes; look for clearance, move in that direction; only hear the rapid rhapsody of a car horn giving warning that the space is already occupied.  It is evident at that moment that the other driver is in our blind spot. Whether the blind spots are created by the design of the car; the annoyance of blinding sunlight or crippling darkness; or too many packages in the backseat, they can be distracting or even devastating.

     Our scripture today reminds us that God makes all things clear for those who love him and live righteously.  There are many blind spots that surround us every day.  Things that by design are purposed to try to throw us off track; to cause frustration; or to cripple us from moving forward are no match for our Lord who makes all things clear.  Some people may try to sabotage or blindside you, but God will make their motives known before they can even finish developing their wicked plans.  He will sound a horn of warning. What others may try to do for evil, God will use it for your greater good.  Be cautious in your daily walk, but do not be anxious about anything. Do your very best and let God handle the rest.  We cannot be everywhere, seeing everything, all the time – BUT GOD DOES! So let him handle the blind spots; we just have to proceed with caution and listen for the warnings.  

     Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day.  Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
