Open your eyes and see...

I came across this excerpt from Max Lucudo recently. I am not a huge fan of Lucado, but I do think that he does a good job of taking certain truths and putting them in a very common language that you can relate to. Pay attention to the very last sentence...I love what it says.

Here is the excerpt...

"It is the normality not the uniqueness of God's miracles that causes them to be so staggering. Rather than shocking the globe with an occasional demonstration of deity, God has opted to display his power daily. Proverbially. Pounding waves. Prism-cast colors. Birth, Death, life. We are surrounded by miracles. God is throwing testimonies at us like fireworks, each one exploding, "God is, God is!"

The psalmist marveled at such handiwork. "Where can I go from your Spirit?" he questioned with delight. "Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there" (Pslams 139:7-8).

We wonder, with so many miraculous testimonies around us, how we could escape God. But somehow we do. We live in an art gallery of divine creativity and yet are content to gaze only at the carpet."

What if it's a nice tightly woven berber with a plethora of different colors mixed into the fiber?

You bring up an interesting point here Josh. As long as the berber is tightly woven, then feel free to gaze upon the carpet all you want.
