VISION

Vision is vital to officials.  Our goal is to be in the best position to give ourselves the best look at a play.  How do we get the best vision on the field?  (1) Make sure physical vision is right—are glasses/contacts needed?; (2) be in the right position; (3) Focus and limit distractions.

One other way to have the best vision…………FAITH.

Our faith in each other grows our vision.  In Matthew 14:28-32, Peter is focused on Jesus and is performing a miracle—walking on water.  His Faith in Jesus allowed him to see beyond what he thought he could physically do.  BUT, what happened.  He saw the storms, Peter got distracted.  The storms were already happening when Peter got out of the boat, he just let other things get in his way of his vision of Jesus.

Walt Disney said “Our minds see more than our eyes can see.”  So, our vision is more than just what we can see.  It’s also all that our mind can process.  Having Faith in each other helps to process what our mind is seeing.  Then, we have to process what our eyes and mind see and determine what action to take.

“Faith grows our Vision.”  Faith is the place where belief intersects actions because a lack of action shows a lack of belief.
