Planks and Holes

Several years ago, my husband noticed distorted vision in one eye. 

A few weeks later, a surgeon inserted a gas bubble into the back of his eye where it pressed against a macular hole, causing it to grow back together. 

The challenge: my husband had to remain face down for a full week!

If my husband's only view of things came from that damaged eye, parts of the true picture would appear blurry or distorted.

God gives us a similar "picture" of spiritual vision when he talks about people who have planks in their eyes (Matthew 7:1-5). 

Planks of bitterness, arrogance, or selfishness make truth appear blurry or distorted. 

The answer: "face-down" humility and prayer.

I'm grateful physicians could restore my husband's physical vision* and I'm grateful the Great Physician can restore our spiritual vision.

Is bitterness, arrogance, or selfishness distorting your view of life?
Humble yourself and tell God you need eye surgery.
