UN-INVISIBLE…Ray Anderson, a theologian and author, tells a story of a Sunday school teacher that is trying to explain the Spirit of God to 1st graders. She gives the following illustration; ‘The Spirit is like the wind. You can’t see the wind, but you can see the affects of the wind…and you can’t see the Spirit of God, but you can see the affects of His works…but God Himself is invisible’. With that final statement, a 6 year old boy wrinkled up his forehead and softly said, “but I want God to be un-invisible”. Isn’t it interesting that every one of us, even us adults, share the feelings of that young boy. When things get dicey…we would truly rather have the visible God show up and handle things for us, wouldn’t we. Yet God in His wisdom has chosen to remain un-see-able to earthly eyes. This means that we must develop our spiritual eyes so we can view Him. He is willing to appear in living color to our spiritual eyes every moment of the day…and every day of the week. It has been said that our spiritual eyes is our 6th sense…and that sense, when developed, gives us more information than the other 5 put together. I guess you’d have to conclude that God actually is…Un-invisible! Just use the right eyes.

“For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.”
