Listen

Though the mirror reveals an honest reflection of what it sees, our eyes are not always capable of capturing the image clearly. There could be a myriad of obstacles getting in the way of us seeing the truth, but we need to somehow reconcile that.

We often need some kind of help in stepping back and getting a better or more honest perspective on ourselves and our life. Distance, both physically and over time, seems to be a good mechanism in which to make that happen. So regardless of the method we use, we need to pursue that authentic view.

Jesus, with his parables, was remarkably good at revealing the truth. The woman at the well, the Pharisees, stone throwers, glass houses, on and on.

In Mark 4:1, we get to see how unaware we can be, how our lack of oversight can cause us to slip away, and how unconsciously the conditions of our heart can be affected.

Listen! We read...

Let’s all take a step back, let’s be mindful and use whatever opens our eyes, and get some perspective on our blindness, and then attack them in the hopes of getting closer to our God, going deeper in his Word, and growing in our faith.

Pray on...
