Hebrews 2:5-12; You have given your son rule over the works of your hands; Mark 1:21-28
Psalm 33 we read in morning prayer:
From the heavens the Lord looks forth, he sees all the children of men. From the place where he dwells he gazes on all the dwellers on the earth, he who shapes the hearts of them all and considers all their deeds.
The psalmist directs our attention the Lord above who looks down and shapes the hearts of them all.
I find great hope in this passage. God never rest nor closes his eyes. His gaze is always upon us. He is always seeking to shape our hearts to be like his.
Today when you look upon someone, old or young, small or big, short or tall, remember you do not look alone. Your gaze joins the gaze of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, a communion of love. This gaze seeks to make our gaze one in the same.
In that gaze there is a conversion taking place, someone's heart is being shaped anew.
Look but look with awareness that our gaze is not the only gaze and this gives us hope.
