Heaven's View is Supernatural




A florist can look at a yard and see glistening blooms.
A gardner can look at the same yard and see weeds.
A busy single mom, coming home from a ten hour day, will overlook the yard, and see that she left the porch light on all day.


Each a glimpse of truth based on the same picture.  Each true - yet incomplete. The world's truth sees from a limited perspective but heaven's view is "supernatural."  It is "limitless" and see's beyond appearances to the heart of the matter.


To see in the supernatural we must look for "God's heart revealed" and the small treasure contained in the big picture. As we open up to see beyond the natural into the supernatural (in the picture above) our hearts are drawn to the 7-year-old sitting in the window. The precious face which is illuminated by the "left on" porch light, is the one of a child who spent the last hour watering the blooms (and the weeds), so that her mother would have time to read her a story before bed.

while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 

2 Corinthians 4:18


Allowing truth to be defined by man's finite knowledge - however brilliant - limits God.
When we no longer allow truth to be defined by what we know and instead let it remain "undefined" by what we've "yet to discover"... then we can walk by faith.


But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. 
1 Corinthians 1:27-29


With Jesus as the author and finisher of this faith we walk in, there is now room for "infinite knowledge" and "limitless power" to be released.


At the moment surrender meets possibility and believing faith...the supernatural is birthed into the natural and the miraculous is born.


The power contained in it's innocence, wonder, magnificence and promise, is so great...it rocks the world, twinkles the stars and orders the universe. 


PRAYER:


Heavenly Father, 
Help us to be open to what Heaven desires to open to us.
Thank you for the magnificent and beautiful things that come in small packages; the eyes to behold them and the faith walk into the supernatural with You.
The view from Heaven is always the best!
In Jesus' Name We Pray,
Amen

Mercy and Truth Have Met. Righteousness and Peace have kissed. (Psalm 85:10)

Tel Aviv

St. Augustine, FL

"Let Freedom Ring"


A song by David for going up to worship.

I was glad when they said to me,
“Let’s go to the house of the Lord.”
Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is built to be a city
where the people are united.
All of the Lord’s tribes go to that city
because it is a law in Israel
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
The court of justice sits there.
It consists of princes who are David’s descendants.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you prosper.
May there be peace inside your walls
and prosperity in your palaces.”
For the sake of my relatives and friends, let me say,
“May it go well for you!”
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek what is good for you.


Psalm 122 (GW)
