Sight problem

by Suresh Manoharan

According to medical science, there are usually two types of ‘sight problems’. Shortsightedness means being able to see nearby objects clearly while struggling to see distant things.  Long-sightedness, on the other hand, is exactly the opposite.

Some years back, I was diagnosed with a sight problem.  Whilst reflecting on that moment of discouragement, the Lord comforted me with this message.

He said, “it is good to have ‘a sight problem’ as long as it has to do with you being able to see ‘eternity’ clearly, even if earthly objects are a blur!”

In the spiritual realm, if you are an eternity-sighted Christian, the good news is that the earthly problems, however big, appear small.

“Since you have been raised to new life with Christ,

set your sights on the realities of heaven,

where Christ sits in the place of honour

at God’s right hand.”

Colossians 3:1 (NLT)

Is it time to develop an ‘eternity-sighted’ problem?
