See him there?I was listening to a radio station one night, probably one of those blowtorch stations out of Chicago that propagate their signals far and wide in the middle of the night. The hosts were having some friendly, happy talk, when one of them remarked, “Wow! That was a two-tiered answer you just gave me!”
The other one cracked: “Yeah, my wife always lives in a two-tiered world. She always hears me say more than I really mean.”
Now can you see him? But I don’t think it’s a man-woman thing. I think both sexes are capable of viewing two tiers, two levels of meaning in any situation. For me, that would mean the present material world exists at the same time (and place) as the eternal, spiritual world, even though, strictly speaking, the eternal world has neither time nor space. But everything we do, think, say, observe, and choose has meaning for this life and also for the one to come.
Here he is, dead center: God (and the spiritual world) is always around us, just like this deer is commonly to be found in our backyard. It’s just a matter of getting things into focus.
See Him now?
Don’t make this too hard: Deuteronomy 30 :11-15
