As I was driving to my parent’s house, just an hour ago, I remembered I was wearing my glasses. I don’t wear my glasses very often so it is infrequent that I forgot when I do have them on. I lifted them to my forehead to view how differently the trees look on the horizon. As most of us can imagine, the difference was just a blurred image of the individual tree branches I could spot with my glasses on.
This all got me thinking about the spiritual world all around us. Why do we limited our thoughts because of blindness? Don’t we already knew the way our eyes are imperfect? 20/20 vision maybe the “perfect” sight in our view of the world but don’t we know that even other creatures on this Earth see things through different eyes. Dogs are colorblind (as they say). Deer have a more obtuse line of sight. Bats use to sound to see.
Just as we cannot see smaller particals with the human eye, perhaps we are just incapable of seeing the forces around us.
I know a woman who can see it, she sees the winds and torrents of God’s movement, I’ve even felt the very thing that she sees. She has told me that she is amazed at how people would rather accept the reality we see with human eyes. Like Aslan in Prince Caspian…. let us allow ourselves to believe in those things unseen.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
- 2 Corinthians 4:18 NIV
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.
- Hebrews 11:1 NIV
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
- Hebrews 11:3 NKJV
