“One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the
house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.” (Psalm 27:4)
God gave us eyes not only to function, but to marvel. Through sight, we witness color, light, movement, proportion, and beauty. The vastness of the sky, the delicacy of a flower, and the uniqueness of every human face silently proclaim the creativity of God.
Our eyes are capable of extraordinary precision, instantly interpreting distance, depth, and detail. This ability reflects a God who values clarity, order, and beauty. When we pause to truly look — not just glance — we begin to perceive God’s fingerprints everywhere.
Yet sight goes beyond the physical. Scripture often speaks of spiritual sight: eyes that recognize truth and perceive God’s work. As we learn to see creation with gratitude and wonder, we train our hearts to see the Lord Himself more clearly.
May we ask God to restore our vision — not only to notice beauty, but to recognize His glory behind it.
Prayer: Father, thank You for the gift of sight. Forgive us for the times we look without truly seeing. Help us to behold the beauty of Your creation and, through it, to recognize Your presence and glory. Give us eyes that see with gratitude, wonder, and faith. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
