Wiper blade theology

Catchy title eh?

This afternoon I was driving along I170 in St. Louis and my windshield was dirty with grime, dead bugs and whatnot. So I twisted the "washer" handle and immediately cleaner was dispersed on my windshield and my wipers cleaned it thoroughly. I had a better vision of what was in front of me.

Many times in life, we go along our paths with a clouded vision of things which are right in front of us. As we are on the move to our goal, we become distracted by the fallen-ness in our lives, or the world around us. We need something to clear our vision. That's the beauty of grace and forgiveness. Grace is that cleansing agent we so desperately need in our lives to overpower our sin. We all need grace in order to be forgiven of our sin and failure. And just like that forgiveness comes like the wiper blade to wipe our "windshield", if you will, and give us a clearer vision for our lives and what we can do to glorify God.

May we continue to go forth in the grace and forgiveness of our Lord.
