Wide-Eyed Wonder (21 Days of Fasting and Prayer)Sample

CLEAR UNDERSTANDING

Overview

God never does anything without revealing His plans to His servants. (Amos 3:7)

Observations

There is a difference between seeing and seeing clearly. Countless dollars are spent yearly on glasses, contact lenses, or Lasik surgery to achieve clear sight. You see, even though we have sight, there can still be a need for clarity.

God has called Jeremiah to be a prophet, yet God tests the clarity of His vision by asking him if he sees clearly what has been revealed. In the Old Testament, prophets were often referred to as “seers” – those that could see clearly what God was doing.

I wonder if we could clearly describe what God is doing in our lives today. Do we have the clarity to know what He has shown us and what He desires us to do? If not, we should ask the Lord to give us clear spiritual sight. He can show us His plan, teach us His ways, and reveal to us His heart.

Response

We should not be content just to know generally God’s purpose and will. He can give us a clear understanding today that will guide us. As we seek Him, He will show us what He wants to do in our lives and His purpose for us. Take time to wait on the Lord today, and hear His voice. Write down what God shows you as He brings clarity to your spiritual life.

Prayer

Father, help me to clearly perceive what You are doing in and around me. Let me hear Your voice today. Let me know Your heart. Give me the understanding to know Your desire for my life so that I can pursue You with intentionality. I want my life to be guided by Your word. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
