We just discovered that my youngest daughter has strasbic amblyopia, a condition where one of her eyes strays a bit to the side instead of focusing like it should. The treatment at this point will be to wear a patch on her good eye for several hours a day, forcing the muscles in her poor eye to strengthen. After that vision therapy is recommended.
Since we have annual checkups, the optometrist was able to compare the differences in vision from last year until now. Because my daughter is young, there is a good chance for improvement. All we need to do is be diligent and follow the recommended exercise routine to strengthen the eye muscles.
Sometimes our focus is off in our walk with the Lord. Our eyes start to stray, keeping us from seeing things spiritually like we should. We wander off the narrow path and merge onto the wider way that Jesus warned us about. On our own we try to refocus, but our muscles have become weak, and our efforts seem futile.
Thankfully, the Lord can help strengthen our spiritual muscles. By giving ourselves completely to Him, we can trust Him to exercise our faith so our relationship with Him becomes stronger and more sharply focused.
Feeling weak in your walk? Let God give you an exercise plan to get those spiritual muscles back in working order.
