"And he looked up and said, 'I see men, for I see them like trees, walking around.' Then again, He ( Jesus ) laid his hands on his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and he began to see everything clearly" Mk 8:25

Ever wonder why you see things not so clearly? Perhaps it is due to a less intent desire than is needed in order to see things fully as God intends. Notice that the blind man's sight was restored after "he looked intently".

Most of us would do anything to see God's will in our lives more clearly. We pray, we read the Scriptures, and we may even walk the talk. But for some reason, we simply seem to only see partially.

I would like to suggest that a return to Jesus might be in order. In a moment when we realized that Jesus was ministering to us, we got in too big of a hurry and took off thinking that He was through, thus we saw things in a haze and we were bumping around from one thing to another in our Christian walk.


"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." I Cor. 13:11

As a child, everything in front of me was what I wanted and most of the time could not hold all of it in my little hands. But as I grew older, I became more intent and focused on one thing and that was what I really wanted. As Children of God, we might need to stay at the moment Jesus is teaching us something and focus intently on that and then move forward with our spiritual sight restored.


Job 8:5-7 (New International Version)
But if you will look to God and plead with the Almighty, if you are pure and upright, even now he will rouse himself on your behalf and restore you to your rightful place. Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be.
