OVERCOMING A LOSS OF VISION #4

This is still continuing with the spiritual warfare series...

OVERCOMING A LOSS OF VISION

This attack can also be turned to our advantage and used as an opportunity. When we begin to lose our vision, we must commit ourselves to strengthening our vision more than ever. We need to sink our roots deeper, and establish our purpose even more firmly upon the Word of God. When God begins to lead us into a prupose, we should record how He speaks to us. By searching the Scriptures and reviewing all the ways He has led us in the past, we will even more firmly establish His leading.

Above all, we must hold our course! We should not change or direction until we can clearly see the new course. In World War I, one of the most effective tactics of the enemy was to lay a smoke screen in front of the allied battleship convoys. As the convoy entered the smoke, visibilty was lost. The ships would start turning at any perceived sound or whim, with the resulting collisions sinking more ships that the enemy torpedos did.

The allies finally developed a simple stategy to thwart this tactic asgainst their "vision": When in the smoke, every ship was to hold it's previous course without deviation. by so doing, the discovered that they would soon all sail out the other side, into clear air. The same strategy will enable us to more quickly escape whatever is clouding our vision. When we lose our vision, we need to just hold our course and keep moving forward. We will soon break out into the clear.
