20/20 Vision


20/20 vision in the natural is a term used to express normal visual acuity (the clarity or sharpness of vision) measured at a distance of 20 feet. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet.


There are other important vision skills, including peripheral awareness or side vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focusing ability and color vision that contribute to your overall visual ability.


Again, that is the natural. What about the spiritual? I believe that some things in the natural realm is a reflection of things in the spirit realm. Just like in the natural realm, the spirit realm has different levels of visual acuity also. You have sight, insight, and foresight (more on this later). Today, I want you to meditate on a Hymn of Faith. As your vision sharpens, it becomes a challenge to stay focused on the vision God has given you. We tend to let the circumstances around us dictate the progress of the vision. Especially if it is been a long time coming. I think Habakkuk sums it up perfectly. Enjoy! Habakkuk 3:17-19


A Hymn of Faith


Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls— Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills.

To the Chief Musician. With my stringed instruments.
