Looking
Upward
"When
they had lifted up their eyes they saw no man, save Jesus
only." Matt. 17:8. What you see depends on which way
you look. Looking around on life's circumstances, you will
miss seeing the better things of life. Erect for your soul
a spiritual observatory where you can look into the
heavens and see some of its wonder. You do not need to
wait until you get to heaven to behold some of its
glories. Heaven will come down to you with many of its
blessed realities. Soul vision of God is necessary to soul
likeness to God. The beauty of the Lord is inwrought into
the soul as it gazes, with steadfast eye, upon Him. The
soul attaches itself to and becomes like that upon which
it gazes. Those who see most of God are fullest of Him.
There are some rare souls who see every thing full of Him.
Every bush is aflame with His presence. They see Him in
every event in life. There are no happenings so small as
to disclose none of His beauty. They see His love in all
the provocations and interruptions. They welcome every
annoyance, grievance, and trial because they see His hand
of love in everything. When the soul grasps the fact that
nothing can come to us without His permission, then we
have found heaven on earth.
