FAITH CAPSULE: Clarity of sight is in the word of God. 

1 Samuel 13

The command of God, the word of God, is the source to gain the clarity of sight.
Proverbs 6:22 records the character of the word of God, “When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.” 
Gaining the clarity of sight is encased in hearing and hearing by the word of God. 
One that is hearing and hearing listens to the word of God to gain an understanding, the clarity of sight in the journey of life.
Ask to be enabled hearing and hearing by the word of God.
Psalm 119:130 informs all, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
Gaining the light of God delivers the clarity of sight not to become a victim of falling or failing in the wicked world. 
The simple believes the Lord.
The understanding of the simple is rooted in prudent character. Proverbs 14:15 states, “The simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps.”
Are you a simple believer and not prudent in your ways of life?
Search yourself to be complete answering to the word of God.
If you are simple and not prudent, it is not enough to gain clarity of sight.
Proverbs 22:3 warns, “A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished.”
King Saul is an example of one with simple but not prudence in engaging challenges before him.
At the time of war against the enemies of the Israelites, Prophet Samuel gave Saul word clarity of sight not to fall before the enemies. Saul was simple to believe but not prudent to keep to the word clarity sight.
1 Samuel 13:8-13 documents the act of being simple and not prudent by Saul: “Then he waited seven days, according to the time set by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattered from him. 9 So Saul said, “Bring a burnt offering and peace offerings here to me.” And he offered the burnt offering. 10 Now it happened, as soon as he had finished presenting the burnt offering, that Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him 11 And Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash, 12 then I said, ‘The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the Lord.’ Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering.” 13 And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you.”
Saul waited, but his waiting was not enough.
The journey of life is ups and downs.
None is with exemption from experiencing the challenges of life. With clarity of sight, one shall have the peace that surpasses all understanding by not to be overcome by the time of challenges.
