Seeing God

My ears had heard of you

but now my eyes have seen you.

Job 42:5 NIV

I admit I once lived by rumors of you;

now I have it all firsthand -

from my own eyes and ears!

Job 42:5 The Message

I love the reflected image of green limbs against blue sky as seen in the aged glass panes of this window. Rather than stand in front of the window for the photograph, I stepped off-center then aimed the camera upward. A perceptively different view was revealed. The rippled character of the old glass, the angle of light careening the image back to the eye, created an additional unexpected, new way of seeing the window and it’s reflected foliage. 

I found Job’s story had elements similar to this photographic experience. Ultimately Job had to accept “seeing” God from an unfamiliar perspective. Grasping God’s omnipotent ways requires us to stand in a different place, accept the unexpected, and look at events from the unique vantage point of God’s lens. 

So grateful to have had you visit with me here and comment on your thinking.

Miraculous Signs Revealed

His miraculous signs ...revealed his glory 

and his disciples put their faith in him. 

John 2:11

Miraculous signs [sometimes] and day to day blessings [often] .... they present themselves with increasing abundance with intention focused on the seeing of them. The anniversary of a full  year marking in a journal these daily blessings and sometimes-miracles arrived and I am not done with the looking for them. I am not done anticipating them. I am not done noting what God has wrought this day that is working for good. I am not done believing there is more joy coming from his hands. I am not done building faith based on the Holy Trinity's presence in my life. I am not done being  certain that
he is not done with me.

Prayerfully noting with thanksgiving:

954 ~ tender stories shared among faith filled women in Beth Moore Bible Study

957 ~ machines and tools and those blessed with the gift of creating them

961 ~ kind professional affirmation

962 ~ public parks, green spaces, boulevard medians, nature preserves, arboretums, gardens; all displaying spring's ethereal green

I Am the Vine

I am the vine,

you are the branches.

He who abides in me,

and I in him,

he it is that bears much fruit,

for apart from me you

can do nothing.
