A Coloradan moved to Texas and built a house with a huge picture window from which he could view thousands of acres of rangeland. “The only problem is,” he said, “there’s nothing to see!”

About the same time, a Texan moved to Colorado and built a house with a big picture window looking out over the Rocky Mountains. “I can’t see anything!” he complained. “The mountains are in the way!”

People have a way of not being able to see what’s right in front of them. They miss out on the wonders of God’s creation. They don’t notice opportunities to worship and serve. They overlook people who are in desperate need of their attention.

Let’s make sure we see what’s before us!

“I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you…”—Ephesians 1:18.
