Do you see through a glass darkly, or a glass clearly?

1 Cor. 13:12: The mirror of Paul's day was a bit fuzzy. (Not the mirrors of today.) So, of course, we're all a bit fuzzy on something or other. We all have blinders on to some degree of our lives and knowledge and discernment.

1 Cor. 13:9: "For we know in part and we prophesy in part..." Just 'cause we may not have the whole--only the part--doesn't mean we can't be certain on the part God has revelationally given us.

Acts 20:27: "For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will [KJV: Counsel] of God."

Thanks be to God. Even the Paul who "knew in part" and "saw through a glass/mirror darkly" could still be used to "proclaim the whole counsel/will of God" to the Ephesians over a three-year period.

Good for you. The rest of us must confess that we are partly blind and in constant need of the guidance of the Master. Sadly, we make mistakes in judgments all the time. You don't. You are blessed.
