Seeing Spots
SEEING SPOTS
SPOTLIGHT
Whether it’s circumstances, relationships, feelings of pride, fear or shame... we all have blind spots and cloudy vision creep in. The world we live in is full of busyness, distractions and unknowns. What will your future look like? How will you get through a particular situation? Where will your career take you? Why were relationships broken? How good will your family’s health be? Our narrow field of vision and our own human nature often has us seeing spots.
Thankfully God sees it all perfectly. If you’re willing to look beyond yourself—beyond your circumstances—and try to see it through God’s eyes, things often begin to come into focus.
LOOK IT UP
“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD.”
Psalm 27:13 (NIV)
Jesus heals a blind man at Bethesda
Mark 8:22-25
“The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.”
Proverbs 15:3
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28

BLINDSPOTS
Let’s reprogram our minds from some distorted perspectives we’ve latched onto over the years.
- Think about a past situation or circumstance where you didn’t know how things would turn out, but you came out on the other side. How did God show up and wipe away all those spots you were seeing?
- How would your life be different if you did a better job looking beyond your human instincts and trying to see things from God’s perspective?
- What’s causing you to see spots and not clearly?
PUT IT INTO ACTION
BODY
View your surroundings mindfully and take
a moment to remember when you envisioned
your life with what you have now.
MIND
Sift through your digital environment (e.g., social media, apps, text messages) and delete or unfollow anything clouding the vision God has for you.
SPIRIT
Spend some time alone doing something that
helps you clear your head. Whether that’s listening to music, journaling, praying, etc. Give yourself an opportunity to clear away the spots that are clouding your vision.
