MAGIC EYE

Good morning everyone.

 

Here is today's Bible lesson:

 

MAGIC EYE

 

READ:

Hebrews 11:1-10

 

[God] is a rewarder of those who

diligently seek Him. -Hebrews 11:6

 

One of my nephews brought a book of Magic Eye images to a family gathering.  Magic Eye images look like ordinary two-dimensional patterns, but when viewed in a certain way, the flat surface appears three-dimensional.

 

We took turns trying to train our eyes to make the three-dimensional image pop out.  One family member had trouble seeing the extra dimension.  Several times I noticed he had the book open, looking at it from all different distances and directions.  But even though he couldn't see the hidden images, he believed it was there because others had seen it.

 

His persistence made me think about the importance of having the same tenacity in matters of faith.  The danger for those who doubt is that they stop looking for God because they believe He can't be found.  Moses warned the Israelites that future generations would wander from God.  He promised, however, that those who seek God with all their heart and soul will find Him (Deuteronomy 4:29).  The book of Hebrews confirms that God rewards those who diligently see Him (11:6).

 

If you struggle to believe, remember: Just because you don't see God doesn't mean He doesn't exist.  He promises to be found by those who seek Him. -Julie Ackerman Link

 

I searched with all my heart to know

If God was really there;

He graciously revealed Himself,

His mercy, love, and care. -Cetas

*******************************************************

Because God is great, He will be sought;

because God is good, he will be found.

 

INSIGHT

Hebrews 11 has been called the Hall of Faith.  In it we read of diverse people who faced trials and tribulations far beyond what most of us face.  Yet all persevered by trusting the Lord.  By the grace of God, we can do the same.

 

Have a blessed day.

God Our Creator's Love Always
