The Seen Scene


“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.”

Genesis 3:6










Stop a moment right now and take a look around.

What do you see?

No, no – what do you really see?

How you see will determine what you see.

Most of us just stopped and looked at, and described, our natural surroundings. 

How often do you look and see with your spiritual eyes?

How often do you peer into heaven in order to bring its’ resources to earth?

More often than not we allow our natural senses to determine our path.

We follow what we see with our natural eyes.

We are reluctant to follow what those same natural eyes cannot see.

Yet, like Abraham, each of us is called to see beyond our own surroundings, our heritage, our past and our capabilities.

Notice those words each of us?

Its’ not just the role of the Pastor, the teacher, or whoever we deem as more able to.

When God, by His Spirit, comes to dwell in us He gives us the capacity to see and understand as we couldn’t before.

We can see the unseen scene.

(or not!)

Just as you chose what to wear today, you can choose to focus according to the natural or according to the spiritual.

Maybe it’s time for an eye exam?
