Beyond What Is Seen

Beyond What Is Seen

There was a monster under the bed. You couldn’t see it, but you knew. Under the bed, in the closet—it was always what you couldn’t see that scared you most.

But the unseen also thrilled you. Imagining what lay outside your door every day made you tie your shoelaces all the quicker. Imagining what gifts were yours under the Christmas tree filled you with anticipation and joy.

As adults, we’re still scared of the unseen, all those areas beyond our control. And we’ve also lost that sense of wonder about what’s outside our door or the gifts waiting to be opened.

But God will turn on the night light and leave the door cracked. And He’ll invite you to discover a world of wonder that only He can reveal.

Will you trust this God of the unseen?

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. . . . By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. —Hebrews 11:1, 3
