Every day we take thousands of snapshots with our eyes, heart and mind. That is, every interaction, every decision involves viewing life through our experiences, our wounds, our belief system. That is quite a camera we carry.
Every new snapshot renews or changes or intensifies the collection of pictures we live through.
I am reading the Bible through in a year--remember the next-door neighbor I was telling you about the last couple of days? I am visiting him every day this year at YouVersion, and today's reading included Moses coming face to face with the burning bush.
It is kind of extraordinary that one would not even entertain the possibility of a burning bush (meaning it was on fire but never consumed) if one did not carry a spiritual lens. If life for us is so black and white that the supernatural color of God is absent, refused, or disdained, we would conclude that my neighbor (the Bible) is full of lies, untruths, and falsehoods. He would simply be like every other neighbor on the street--just another collection of stories.
Imagine a life album that is only black and white--no supernatural color, creation, event, or relationship to enjoy, share or ponder. Remember you are carrying quite a camera with you today--everyone has a lens through which they view life.
Hopefully, you have a spiritual lens through which to investigate this crazy thing called life.
