He Knows What Can't Be Seen
Contributed by Sermon Central on Aug 11, 2008 (message contributor)
HE KNOWS WHAT CAN’T BE SEEN
There is no way to grasp, even remotely, what God knows about me, my life, and anything to do with me.
There is a story of a photographer who went to the docks to take a picture of the "The Great Eastern". Its hull was black, having been coated with tar. That same day the man went to his own darkroom to develop the film and print it. As the picture of the ship began to take form, the word "Lewis" appeared on the hull. Immediately the photographer returned to the wharf to see whether that name actually was on the vessel. But it wasn’t visible. Astonished, he contacted the office of the shipping company and inquired about this strange phenomenon. He was told that the word "Lewis" could be found underneath the tar. The camera’s powerful lens and the sensitive film had picked it up.
Nothing eludes Him - Hebrews 4:13 – Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
(SOURCE: from a sermon by Nathan Johnson, "The Eyes of the Lord" 7/18/08)
