CLARITY - Jan. 22nd, 2008

Some things in life need a little clarity. Directions...Instructions...Purpose...Goals...Motives...
As we progress through life, it becomes more an more important to have clarity. A few years ago I had Lasik surgery to bring clarity. What a difference a little clarity provides. When life is foggy everything slows down...or at least should for the sake of safety. Have you ever seen where there was a fifty+ car pileup on the freeway? It was foggy but everyone trusted the one just in front of them to know the way or see the way. The results are many times devastating.
Here's some good clarity directives to assist you this morning to not become a statistic in the foggy times.
If you don't know, don't go.
Wait until the fog lifts.
Proceed with caution.
Make adjustments.
Listen to others.
Seek wise counsel.
Seek God.
Clean the lens.
Take off the blinders.
Turn on the light.
Open your eyes.
Think before you act.
Pray before you panic.
Clarity has many assistants. Make sure you employ them all. They usually all somehow work together. I'm sure there are some I haven't mentioned. One final thought though. Sometimes we are literally progressing forward in life by sheer faith. Now faith isn't stupid but it is obedient. When you need clarity, make very sure you remain completely obedient to the Masters voice. John 10 says He will lead you safely in and out of the sheepfold. David revealed that when he came into the sanctuary was when he understood. Understanding from God is the clearest vision you'll ever have. It's worth waiting for in His presence. He has a way of blowing away the fog.

Wanna meet me here in the morning?
