Long sight or Short sight

If we are too spiritually long-sighted, we may fall on the steps before us. If we are too spiritually short-sighted, we may admire our surroundings so much that we don't realise that we have lost our way.


Meditation:


Psalm 119:105


"Your word is a lamp to my feet (current events) and a light for my path (future events).
