As we meet each week we hear a lot about God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and we could say just like Job ‘I hear but I do not see’. What would we mean by that? I think it’s like this. We hear and hopefully remember some of what we hear. The things we remember become our knowledge about God, the facts about him.

The phrase ‘but now my eyes see you’ is to do with a different kind of knowing. It is to do with experience. It is a knowing, as in when you say, you know someone close to you.

God’s purpose and calling is that every one of us should ‘see’ Him in this way. That every one of us should experience Him in relationship. He wants every one of us to have a close and intimate relationship with Him.

In John’s gospel Chapter 10 Jesus refers to us as His sheep. He says that He knows the sheep and that they know His voice. That is they will know His personal communication with them - not necessarily in an audible voice although that is possible - they would experience his speaking to them.

In Matthew’s gospel Jesus says ‘Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God’.
Let’s ask Him to speak personally to us. If we do He will answer because that is His will for us. May none of us miss out on hearing Him as we follow him day by day.
