“I See Trees!”

My recent transitions have been full of countless opportunities to trust God alone as I am walking blind. Not really sure of which way is the right way sometimes. Even feeling uncertain once I have leaped if I chose the right way. This can be a place where the enemy loves to run to keep us in doubt and I hate that. As I continue to press in to what God has for my life and stick close to what I know to be true in His Word I begin to see things more clearly in Him.

In Mark 8:23-25 we see the story of the blind man being healed by Jesus. Now, I am not physically blind and this story implies the healing of a man who was physically unable to see. I see a clear resemblance to our spiritual blindness and this man’s physical blindness. In both cases God wants to heal us. When God heals it is His heart to heal completely. I feel like that blind man, I know Jesus has touched my life and I know some of the details as to which way I am to go at the various crossroads in my life. But, there still seems to be this uncertainty… I think I see trees! I have a general idea of which way to go or what to do but it is not perfectly clear. God is so good to us that He asks us, “What do you see?” And when we answer, “I see trees.” He is so good that He touches us again so that the clarity we need will come forth. It is simply up to us to let Him know that we see trees and allow Him to touch us a second time.

One thing I have learned of God’s character is that He is not about confusion or fuzziness He is about clarity. God does not want me to see trees; He wants me to see clearly in Him!

Do you ever feel like you “see trees”?
