HYPERSEEING

READ:
Romans 8:28-30

When He is revealed,
we shall be like Him.
__John 3:2

Sculptors have a term for the artist's ability to look at a rough piece of stone and see it in its final, perfected form. It is called "hyperseeing."
Gutzon Borglum (1867-1941) is the sculptor who created many well-known public works of art. Probably the most famous is Mt,. Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota. Borglum's housekeeper captured the concept of hyperseeing when she gazed up at the massive faces of the four US presidents on Mt. Rushmore for the first time. "Mr. Borglum," she gasped, "how did you know Mr. Lincoln was in that rock?"

Hyperseeing is also a good description of our all-seeing God. He sees what we shall be when He has completed His work and we stand before Him, holy and without blemish: the exact likeness, the very image of Jesus. The God who started this great work in you will keep at it until He completes it on the very day Jesus Christ appears (see Phil. 1:6).

God will not be denied! He has such a longing for our perfection that nothing can or will remain an obstacle until He has finished the work He began so long ago.

If only...if only we will put ourselves in the Master Sculptor's hands. __David Roper

*****************************Today's Bible Reading __ Romans 8:28-30*****************************
28 And we know that all
things work together for
good to those who love
God, to those who are the
called according to His
purpose. 29 For whom He
foreknew, He also
predestined to be
conformed to the image of
His Son, that He might be
the firstborn among many
brethren. 30 Moreover
whom he predestined,
these He also called; whom
He called, these He also
justified; and whom He
justified, these he also
glorified.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>INSIGHT<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Today's Scripture reading has sometimes been misused by well-
intentioned Christians. When a believer has been devastated by the
loss of a loved one, another believer may glibly quote: "All things
work together for good" (v.28). But for someone feeling the hurt
and loss of grief, this statement usually provides little consolation.
A more careful examination of the biblical text offers an important
insight. The broader context shows that the blessings and bruises
believers experience must be understood as part of the process of
being conformed to the image of Christ. We may not understand
why a person was taken from us in this life, but by faith we can have
the assurance that all life experiences work together to make us
more like Jesus Christ.
