Life is full of things that catch our eye. Most people identify themselves as visual learners. If we did not know before, we are keenly aware now of the power of seeing things in any form, even on a screen. With so much to focus our attention on it is hard to believe that God is still something that espies us. God continually catches our sight because God is about fascination, mystery, aliveness, vitality, beauty, and grace. When we are espying God we are not just caught visibly, our hearts are captured as well. Sometimes we do not give credit for what we are espying because we chalk it up to something that is always there. Recently I was on a flight at night and almost the entire flight I was espying the work of God in the glowing full moon which looked like it was riding the clouds with the plane. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen the moon, but it caught my sight that night with the beauty of its glow and the closeness of its majesty. By espying God in the beauty of the light of the moon my heart-felt full of joy and I was humbled to be able to bear witness. Nature is a simple place to do plenty of espying on God and thankfully it is with us all the time.
My prayer for us is the willingness to allow space for espying on God and make room for the expansion of our hearts by God today.
