Catch The Vision

This morning, I had another vision! This is not to say that I have them often, like daily, or monthly, or every so many years. Indeed, I am really not inclined to have such things. In fact, I have sometimes been a bit critical of others who made such claims.

But I have discovered that my problem was not the lack of visions, but my lack of eyes! I just had not been seeing what was there to see. Having eyes, I saw not!

My vision this morning was a beautiful flock of geese...an arrow pointing due north...one of those awe‑inspiring sights that thrills the soul. "But that's no vision," you say..."that was simply a beautiful sight...a herald of spring!"

That's right...but the "vision" was still there...because my vision was of something within the tiny brain of each flying bird that was drawing him like an arrow to his destination!...and each bird responded to that inner instinct.

God is tugging at our hearts. He is calling us to come up higher...to live more perfectly...to love more completely. Here then was my vision: when we come to God to worship, or to pray, or to grow...when we follow the way of the cross...when we look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith...and when we respond to this inner "tug," we too become a beautiful sign in the sky.

Here is the way! Walk in it! Here is the Savior! Follow Him! Here is Life! Live it to the best of your ability! Like an arrow...moves the Church of God...a sign, a promise, a hope to all who behold!
