During a time when I felt so very far away from God, and things were not going well in a lot of ways, this song came to me. I was in the desert and being temped to say God did not care about me. I had had a vision of where I was going in my life and ministry that was very clear at one point, and that had become blurred. I am ageing. I will be 52 this year, and the thoughts; that my best years were behind me, I don’t have an education, people want to hear and see the young people anyhow. All these lies came on me. On a I day when I was feeling particularly defeated I opened my Bible to Colossian 3 and I read that I should set my heart, and mind on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Sure I have read this passage many times before, but on this day it became clearer to me than it ever was before. I realized that today’s clarity was for today, and tomorrow I would need a new clarity, and understanding of this “Living Word Of God” The point is that as a Christian I live on this world day by day, and in the next with Christ for eternity. So I need to fix my eyes on the things that I can not see, and exercise my faith to see with my spiritual eyes.
