Last night I had a very strange thing happen to me. I have been battling strep throat since last Thursday. I am on the downhill side, two shots and several pills later (thanks again Greg!).
As a result of the sore throat and the medication, I have some sores in my mouth as well. I was getting ready for bed and after brushing my teeth, I decided I needed to rinse my mouth with mouthwash. Key point to the story – I had already taken out my contact. I looked through my shaving kit and found some trial size bottles. One said “Wash” in big letters and I could not make out the smaller ones. I suppose my first clue should have been when I had to really squeeze to get the contents of the bottle to drop into my mouth. Unfortunately for me, I had a mouthful before I realized it wasn’t mouthwash.
Yeah, in case you are wondering, shampoo is not a good substitute for mouthwash – I think I could still blow bubbles if I really tried. All because I couldn’t see clearly.
How often are you caught off guard because of faulty vision or understanding? The great thing is that as long as we take the time to spend in God’s word and in contemplating God’s leadership in our lives through prayer, we will have clear vision and solid understanding.
Take some time to work on your vision today – trust me, the alternative is not pleasant!
Be blessed today!
