By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,
O God of our salvation,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas;
the one who by his strength established the mountains,
being girded with might;
who stills the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
the tumult of the peoples,
so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs.
You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy. Psalms 65:5-8
His signs are ever apparent with those who have eyes to see. Who hasn’t pondered the mighty hand of God standing on a beach looking out over the ocean? Or watched a sunrise or marveled at the beauty of a sunset? Or stood atop a mountain ridge and looked out over a vast range of wilderness?
Are you worn down and tired? What do you do to find energy and inspiration again? Getting up close and personal with His creation does it for me. Being ensconced in manmade settings for too long drains on my soul. And sometimes my only escape is within my own imagination. Some saints are literally trapped in prisons which don’t allow for escape into God’s creation — and imagination is all they have. Many have to close their eyes and allow their imagination take them to places beyond their physical confines.
Do you allow the Holy Spirit to give you spiritual vision(s)? Can He show you places and people, and comfort your soul? Why do you think God gave us an imagination? What purpose do you think He had in His mind for us when He gave us this ability? The mind is a powerful ally or enemy depending on who actually is controlling it. This is why learning from the indwelling Presence of the Holy Spirit within you — is SO important. He can help you discern the thoughts and images being produced in your brain / mind. He can let you know when those thoughts and images in your mind are yours or being planted by someone else. We accept way too many rouge thoughts and images that were never generated by you, but by the enemies of God. This is why Paul gave this advice …
For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 1 Corinthians 10:4-5
So many believe the lies being planted within their minds by the enemies of God. This will lead them far off the path and relationship God wants to have with them. Have you asked the Holy Spirit what lies you have mistakenly believed? Have you asked Him what habits you have formed from those lies? Ask Him to surround you with His Presence and reveal truth to you. Ask Him to show you and to open your spiritual eyes. Ask Him to help you see God’s ‘signs’ with clarity. Ask Him to help you be free from the confines of the lies you have believed.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36
