I learned a lesson this past week that I'd like to share with you. For the past few weeks I've been having trouble seeing, especially out of my right eye, even with my prescription glasses and contacts. This is incredibly annoying, as you can figure, and it gives me headaches once in awhile because of the strain on my vision.
This past week at youth group we had a relaxed worship night and I asked one of my youth leaders to pray for my eye. I thought I might have a scratch on my eye or something and prayer works, so you really shouldn't underestimate it. She prayed over me and I went back to where I was sitting and journaling. I kept asking God why I couldn't see, not in a hateful, demanding way, but just that I didn't understand. While I was praying and asking God things I looked down at the cover of my journal. My sister had gotten me this journal for my birthday and as you can see, it says, "Walk by faith, not by sight."
It's as if God has personally delivered me this journal to give me a message at this exact time. I found myself remembering and being thankful that throughout my life, even if I can't see the next step, God can. God calls us to walk by faith, not by seeing exactly what comes next or even seeing at all. Through my blurry vision*, He still can see everything perfectly, and He will let me know what comes next. Until then, I'll trust that I'm in His hands.
Something to Remember:
Trust in God and walk with Him because He knows what the next step in your life is, even if you can't see it yet.

*This morning I went to the eye doctor and found out that my vision has gotten a lot worse from my last appointment (4 months ago). I have astigmatism in my right eye and my left eye is just worse in general. I had to update all of my contacts and pick out a new pair of glasses. I am so glad that I know what is going on with my eyesight now, even if it isn't the best news.
