MAGIC EYE

One of my nephews brought a book of Magic Eye images to a family party. Magic Eye images look like ordinary patterns on a page, but when looked at in a certain way, the flat surface starts to become a 3D object.

We took turns trying to train our eyes to make the 3D image pop out. One family member had trouble seeing the extra dimension. I noticed he had the book open a few times, looking at it from all different distances and directions. Yet even though he couldn’t see the hidden image, he believed it was there because we had seen it.

The way he kept going at it made me think about the importance of having the same attitude in our walk with Jesus. 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 look for God with everything they’ve got will find Him (DEUTERONOMY 4:29). The book of Hebrews explains that God rewards those who keep following and looking to 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 turn to Him.

Thinking it over . . .

When do you find it hardest to believe in God and rely on Him? Who can you talk to in your church about this?

GOD NEVER HIDES. READ THE BIBLE AND YOU
WILL HEAR HIM SPEAK TO YOU.
