As we embark on this new year of 2020, may we exercise our spiritual 20/20 vision.
There are a vast number of subjects a person could focus on as they move into this New Year. Setting goals and making resolutions are usually the focus.
I was reminded by Jeffrey recently that ideal vision is 20/20. Why not look at this upcoming year of 2020 with clarity of sight focused on our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
The devil tries to impair our vision by getting us to look at worldly endeavors or earthly resolutions. He does not want us clear on who we are in Christ.
Thankfully God’s Word corrects our spiritual vision to 20/20 so that we clearly stay our minds on true spiritual matters.
Colossians 3:10-17:
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
This year we want to “Walk in Victory.” We do so by maintaining a spiritual 20/20 vision of putting on the new man and keeping our focus on our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
Philippians 3:13 & 14 (NLT):
“…I focus on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,
I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”
