It was raining when I came home for lunch. After soup and a sandwich, I hopped in the car and headed back to work.
However, it seemed to be raining harder than I realized because I could hardly see. I turned the windshield wipers on high. That didn’t help much, so I figured it must be fog on the windshield. I cranked up the defrost.
Things were still blurry.
Uh oh.
I reached up and patted my face. No glasses.
Thankfully, I was just a block from home. I retraced my route and ran back in the house. There were my glasses on the kitchen counter, next to George Will’s column in Newsweek.
The drive back to work was so much better after that.
When we look at our lives through the lens of God’s perfect vision, it doesn’t change the road we travel or make the rain stop, but it does help us to see that we are moving on the path He has laid out for us and we can move forward with confidence.
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. Ephesians 1:18
