I'm reminded by David...Very compelling word...<br /><br />I'm reminded by David's psalm that mentions that he will not set any vile thing before his eyes (psalm 101:3) which truly aligns with whatever is in our heart, the mouth will speak (Luke 6:45)..and its whatever comes out of us that makes us unclean (Matthew 15:11)..these things remind me of being careful what we read or watch or listen to will affect both the spiritual and emotional thermostats. <br /><br />The popular quote that the "eyes are Windows to our soul" has had some scientific findings which they said actually relates to our frontal lobe of the brain and influences our personality, even genetically speaking. <br />http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-436932/Scientists-discover-eyes-really-window-soul.html<br /><br />It has both been a struggle and a joy to be disciplined by God in my media usage...but I'm thankful that He is patient with where I'm at because He sees where I'm headed.

I like the question "what do you see...Hi Jenn. I like the question "what do you see?" How often do we miss seeing because we don't even expect to see anything beyond the normal? We look at someone and only see them with our eyes, not with His. We look at a problem and allow it to discourage us.<br /><br />And yet when God asks, "What do you see?", He is implying that there is something to see that we have missed. He is inviting us to look at things the way He looks at things. And as you said, He is inviting us to see into another realm.<br /><br />But seeing also requires light. It's funny then how much we allow the world to darken our eyes. We don't even realize how many veils cover our eyes.<br /><br />So when God asks, "What do you see?", it is a good thing to ask Him to remove the veils over our eyes and shine His light into our hearts. And with light comes truth, for light reveals what is true, but also God's truth is the light that enables us to see.<br /><br />The Bible says Daniel was a man of light. Meaning he could see what others could not see. Meaning he could see what God saw. Meaning He could see into God's realm.<br /><br />But the Hebrew word used for "light" in Daniel 5:11 also means "wisdom". When your eyes see what God sees, you have wisdom. You referred to this as maturity, but I think God wants you to see that you have gained His wisdom as well.<br /><br />Dean Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
