高瞻远瞩
“求你叫我转眼不看虚假， 又叫我在你的道中生活。”
诗篇 119:37
人们常说，伟大的领袖往往高瞻远瞩。他们既能看清现实，也能展望未来。他们不会在绝望中浪费时间，也不会被罪和自私所干扰；他们不会沉迷于错误的事物而变得鼠目寸光。
世界上伟大的领导者对当前的形势有敏锐的洞察力，也会清晰地预见未来。他们愿意看到上帝赋予人类的潜力，并帮助他们看到自己的潜力。陶恕曾经写道：“信心是灵魂对救赎主的凝视。” 换句话说，眼见就是信心，我们选择所见的正表明我们相信什么才是生活的重心。
今日祷告：
耶稣，求祢让我单单注目于祢。矫正我的视力，让我定睛仰望祢。阿们。

Seeing
Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word.
PSALM 119: 37
It is often said that leaders who make the most significant difference in our world are people who have “vision.” They see what is and they envision what could be. They don’t waste the focus of their sight on despair, they don’t allow their sight to be distracted by sin or selfishness, and they don’t develop blurriness or nearsightedness from binge-watching the wrong things.
Leaders who make a significant difference in our world have keen insight into the immediate landscape and also crisp foresight on the horizon. They choose to see the God-created potential in humanity and they help others to see it too. A. W. Tozer (why do all the cool writers get initials for first names?) once wrote, “Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God.” In other words, looking and believing are the same thing. What we choose to see reveals what we believe should be the focus of our lives.
Pray for the Day:
Jesus, let me see you and you alone. Repair my sight and fix my eyes upon you. Amen.
