VISUAL ACUITY
Introduction:
-
Optometrists examine our eyes to determine our visual acuity or how keenly we can see.
-
Spiritual vision is even more important. Without God our vision is impaired. We must examine our vision when it comes to how we are to conduct ourselves.
-
The only way for us to sharpen our visual acuity is to submit our lives to the One who sees the whole picture!

GOD SEES IT ALL!
