Thought to share my morning devotional before I head off to work...
July 4
To See the Unseen
He gives strength to those who are tired and more power to those who are weak.
Isaiah 40:29 (NCV)
An example of faith was found on the wall of a concentration camp. On it a prisoner had carved the words:
&nb sp; I believe in the sun, even though it doesn't shine,
; I believe in love, even when it isn't shown,
; I believe in God, even when he doesn't speak.
I try to imagine the person who etched those words. I try to envision his skeletal hand gripping the broken glass or stone that cut into the wall. I try to imagine his eyes squinting through the darkness as he carved each letter. What hand could have cut such a conviction? What eyes could have seen good in such horror?
There is only one answer: Eyes that chose to see the unseen.
