You have seen pictures of race horses or old westerns where teams of horses pull a stagecoach. Have you ever wondered why blinders have been placed on the head of the animal? The blinders cover the rear vision of the horse, forcing it to see only in a forward direction and keeping it on track. Blinders are also useful to reduce the chances of the horse’s being spooked from the side and making a run for it while still attached to the wagon.
This illustrates the way in which God desires us to view things. We can worry about the past catching up to us or many scary things broadsiding us. However, the Holy Spirit desires us to focus on the future and what God has in store.
Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
Colossians 3:2
Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
Go to the great optometrist and have Him improve your vision with spiritual devices that work.
Give it some thought.
