“What do you see?” he asked. “I see a solid gold lampstand,” I replied, “with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven spouts to the lamps. — Zech 4:2 BSB

The world is filled with beautiful things that many people never notice.

Some people have eyes but never see the beauty in the splendors of the earth, sky, or sea. It would be a blessing if an angel walked beside each of us, constantly asking, “What do you see?” The world is full of wonders for those who take the time to look.

The same is true of the Bible. There are amazing things on every page, if we ask ourselves as we read, “What do you see?” If we develop this habit, we’ll constantly discover new insights. Divine beauty and wisdom will rise before us, teaching us and inspiring us toward a higher, holier life.
