Do You See What I See?

“If people can't see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves;
But when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed.”

Proverbs 29:18 (Message Translation)

“Said the night wind to the little lamb

Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite…”

Haven’t we all heard that Christmas song?

The question asked in the song might well be asked by the Lord:

“Do you see what I see?”

If we want to know the fulfillment of His plans for us it is essential that we see as He sees. So often we fail to see through the “eyes” of the Holy Spirit and instead rely on our own natural eyes. But what we see with the natural eyes is temporary and fleeting. Spiritual things, things seen with spiritual eyes and spiritual understanding, are eternal.    

Won’t you ask God to see as He sees?

 Ask for the understanding to value and look

for the things that matter to Him in your life.

Stop seeing from an earthly perspective and begin to see with an eternal, heavenly perspective.

There is an old saying (it is not found in scripture though) that we can be so heavenly minded that we are no earthly good. That s just not true though. Paul admonished us in Colossians 3:1 – “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.”

I am praying this week that our hearts (and I might add – our sight) is set on things above and not on things on the earth!
