Sight (2 of 5)
Series: Making Sense of Our Senses
Ernest L. Easley
Psalm 34:8
We're continuing our series of messages under the heading:
Making Sense of our Senses.
So take God's word and join me again in Psalm 34 where we read of the second of our five senses and I'm talking about our Sight!
So have you ever wondered why God gave you your five senses: Taste, Sight, Hearing, Touch and Smell? Well, we discovered last time together that God not only gave us our five senses to help keep us satisfied (Taste) and safe (Sight), and sure (Hearing), and secure (Touch) and sharp (Smell); He gave them to us to help make us saved!

It's our five senses that help us know God, to help us move toward God and help us trust God!
In fact, have you ever considered how your five senses' can help you have a greater knowledge of God? Well, they can. You can know a lot about God simply through your senses!

Well, do you remember reading in Genesis 1.26where God said, ''Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness ...'' and then in verse 27, ''So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.''
When God created us male and female, He created us in His image (demut: likeness, pattern. It speaks of an appearance resembling something.) In other words, included being created ''in His image,'' are our five senses!
Our senses resemble His senses!
Of course they do because we're made in His image, in his likeness! Let me show you what I mean.
Let's start in Psalm 34.8 where we read, ''Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good ....'' The Bible mentions our sense of TASTE. So why did God give ...
