VISUAL IMPAIRMENT HEALED
One afternoon in 2006, I suddenly began having trouble with my vision. Whatever I looked at directly just seemed to vanish. Several days before this, I had thoroughly studied an account in the Bible involving King Jehoshaphat (see II Chron. 20:1–30). And his story was like a road map to healing for me.
As I began to pray for spiritual answers to address the alarming symptoms I was experiencing, I recalled how Jehoshaphat faced the news that an opposing multitude was heading toward his doorstep. He first "set himself to seek the Lord"—not after conventional means had failed, but first and foremost. The king declared further, "We have no might against this great company ... neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee [God]" (verse 12). I saw in his response the humility that I, too, needed to express, first in realizing that the resolution to the difficulty didn't lie within my personal capability, but God's alone. And, second, in acknowledging God's supremacy—and "setting my eyes on Him."
