II Kings 10:15
It is always interesting to consider the different ways that God's creation sees. Certain types of hawks can sit on top of the empire state building and see a dime on the sidewalk at the base of the building.

Someone described a hawk in the sky and a rabbit on the ground of two ways of seeing. The hawk in the sky can see a rabbit on the ground from 300 feet in the air. But a rabbit on the ground has the ability by looking down to see he hawk circling the sky.

Our five senses, physically we touch and we taste and we hear and we see and we smell and we say I see.
Notice the text "Is thine heart right? God knows for he can see into the heart of man.

My grandmother would ask the customer, "How are you doing today, Brother Thomas?" And the person would reply, "Not so good." There would be a distinct whine in the voice. "Not so good today, Siste ...
