Journal for Day 42
LESSON 42

God is my Strength. Vision is His gift.


“You will see because it is the Will of God. It is His strength, not your own, that gives you power. And it is His gift, rather than your own, that offers vision to you.”

I know that above all else I want to see, and this lesson assures me that this is possible at any time anywhere. It also explains why this is so. Vision is God’s gift to me It is God’s Will that I receive it. Therefore, I cannot fail. I do receive His vision often. I will lose my peace because I got entangled in an ego story and then I remember that the peace of God is all I want. With this goal in mind, I can ask for another way to see, and suddenly, there it is. Each of those moments of vision is leading me to the day that Christ Vision is how I see everything.

“Your passage through time and space is not at random. You cannot but be in the right place at the right time. Such is the strength of God. Such are His gifts.”

This is one of my favorite passages. I have a purpose while I am here. That is the reason I always look at whatever is happening in my life as part of that purpose. It can be something that feels big, a problem with one of my children, a death of a loved one, a crisis of faith. Or it can be something that is seemingly small, I gained five pounds, I spent too much money at the mall, I know I need to exercise more and yet I don’t. Each of those issues has the same purpose. I am here to awaken and to help others to awaken.

It’s funny, but sometimes the little stuff is what trips me up. I can recognize my purpose in the death of a loved one, and I will not hesitate to look at my thoughts and feelings with the Holy Spirit. I will not hesitate to ask for vision in this case. But when step on the scale, I tend to do it alone. I look for solutions in a different diet. I hesitate to ask what it is for and I hesitate to ask for vision. Weird behavior.

But my passage through time and space is not at random. Each of these situations is purposeful. Each one is an opportunity for me to ask for another way to see. Each is equally important because each situation is an opportunity for me to undo the ego and accept the gift of God. There is no doubt that I can accomplish this because I am not depending on my own strength to do so.

God’s gift is vision, and so is His strength. It was a gift in my creation. So if I fail to ask what it is for and if I fail to receive vision, it is only because I choose not to do so. Weird and crazy behavior. It is important that I accept that God does not fail me, but that I fail myself. From there, I can choose again and choose in perfect confidence that I will be answered and I will succeed.
