Short and sweet thought for the week…
Just because we can’t see something doesn’t mean it’s not there. Just ask any blind person.
Helen Keller once said, “The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.” As a blind person, she should know!
Additionally, sometimes it’s difficult to see God behind the scenes when we go through trials, but God is always near to those who call on Him (Psalm 145:18-20). God hears our prayers. God saves us. God love us. God cares for us. And God will deliver us from afflictions, according to His perfect timing.
When the Syrian armies surrounded Israel, Elijah’s servant was afraid and asked, “Master, what shall we do?” Elijah said, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then he prayed and asked God to open the eyes of his servant so he could see what was invisible to the human eye. God’s power and might! When God opened the servant’s eyes, he saw God’s army of horses and chariots of fire all around. Guess who won that battle? Ironically, the Syrian armies were struck with blindness (2 Kings 6:14-17).
We tend to think with a limited scope, but God’s power is limitless. On cloudy days, we may not see the sun but it’s definitely there. Remember that just because we can’t see something doesn’t mean it’s not there!
“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
