BLIND SPOTS

September 06, 2024

“But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.”
Psalm 19:12

Maybe you are like me and still understand the concept of ‘blind spots.’ 

Every car has a few areas where you might not see oncoming traffic. Without the ability to recognize these blind spots, you could easily be injured in an accident. Today, newer cars come with multiple cameras and alarms to alert you of dangerous conditions. Some cars even drive themselves…so you don’t have to worry about collisions at all…theoretically!

Car manufacturers have figured out how to greatly reduce blind spots. But in life, we all have areas that could be considered for extra caution. Our first blind spot is our need for a Savior. Part of coming to Christ for the very first time is when God removes the scales from our eyes so we can see our hopeless situation – we are sinners, and we cannot save ourselves. God not only reveals our blind spots, but through Jesus, we have the promise of a new life for all eternity with Him. 

But as believers, we experience other blind spots—areas where we don’t initially recognize a sin. In Psalm 19:12, King David pleads that God would forgive his hidden sin. Sometimes, habits are so ingrained that we might not be able to identify them as sinful. 

So what can we do about all these blind spots?

First, we can pray that the Holy Spirit would reveal areas of sin in our lives. Jesus tells us in John 16:8 that the Holy Spirit will come and convict the world of sin. Part of our daily sanctification is learning more and more about what it looks like to lay aside our old lives and put on our new lives in Jesus. 

Second, surround yourself with a few trusted and wise friends who can hold you accountable and challenge you on your blind spots. This could be a spouse or another family member, but I have found that what is often best is for men to connect with a few men or women to connect with women who can challenge us to take our blind spots seriously. We all need a little help reminding us where we need to grow.

When learning to drive, you are instructed to always double-check your blind spots. We should have the same attitude toward the blind spots in our lives. 

We are all on a journey with Christ; let’s help each other along the way.
