Supervision

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing,
yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction,
which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are
temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. - 2 Corinthians
4:16-18.

The normal human being is able to see one million different colors. However,
a woman in England has been discovered who has the potential to see 100
million different colors. According to Gabriele Jordan, who is a
neuroscientist at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom, this ability
is only present in women. Jordan has estimated that as many as 12 percent of
women may have the ability to see in colors beyond the imagination of most
people. Most of these people, like the one known woman with the supervision,
do not know that they are able to see beyond what other humans see. We
normal humans are unable to describe what we see to them, and they are
unable to describe what they see to us. (Orange News 06.22.12; Discover
Magazine July/August 2012)

Who would have thought anyone could see so many colors! I didn't even know
that the normal non-color blind person can see one million colors! Amazing!
What other amazing things can some obscure human being on this planet do?
And, just like the super color seeing person, they may not even know it.
Just in case you are wondering, the woman with super color vision is a
doctor in England referred to in scientific literature only as cDa29. So,
will cDa29 ever come out of the closet and reveal herself to the world?

As amazing as it is that someone can see 99 million more colors than most of
us, there are some people among us that have an even more amazing ability.
There are millions of these people with an extraordinary gift, perhaps even
a billion or more who have it. What is it that they can do? We probably
ought to be careful about revealing this and assigning a number to each one
to assure their privacy. However, number one billion and one might be a
little cumbersome. Okay, I'll let you in on this secret. These people with
this superhuman ability are able to see.the unseen!

The Bible tells us about this amazing ability to see the unseen in 2
Corinthians 4:18, "while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at
the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary,
but the things which are not seen are eternal." It seems that the apostle
Paul is writing about not just some select group of preachers, deacons, and
teachers; but, here is the really strange thing, he is saying that all
believers in Jesus have this ability. Although, it is somewhat like the
superhuman ability to see multiple millions of colors, in that even though
people have the ability to see the unseen they may not use it.

What are these unseen things that believers in Jesus should be able to see?
God, Heaven, Angels, God's will, God's plan, God's purpose, and all eternal
things. 2 Kings 6 tells us of when Elisha's servant was almost frightened to
death because of the huge mass of the Syrian army that was sent after
Elisha. The Bible tells us this, "And when the servant of the man of God
arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with
horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, "'Alas, my master! What
shall we do?'
So he answered, 'Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those
who are with them.' And Elisha prayed, and said, 'Lord, I pray, open his
eyes that he may see.' Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and
he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all
around Elisha (2 Kings 6:15c-17)."

May God open our eyes so that we may see the unseen, and every day look
beyond the temporary things of this world to the eternal.

1990s. The distribution of these first devotionals was primarily through the
Burning Bush Newsletter sent to prison facilities throughout the United
States and Canada.

Thank you for your prayers for my wife, Jeanie, she has completed chemo for
ovarian cancer and is continuing to improve. Thank you for your prayers for
Missy Dyess who is recovering from a horrendous head on vehicle accident. In
the weeks since the accident she has made much progress. She is still in
need of your prayers to continue to recover. Please pray for Kanesha Greer,
she is a 10-year-old girl who has stage four bone cancer (osteosarcoma).
Kanesha is a member of our church. Many prayer needs are posted at the
Burning Bush website on the Prayer Request page. You can also post your
prayer requests there and they will be forwarded to the Burning Bush Prayer
Group (Of course, I am always in need of prayer - please pray for me.).

If you are not my friend on facebook or myspace you can be, just add me. The
devotionals are posted in my blogs on those two social networks and you can
leave comments, feedback about them there. There are other social networks
designed just for Christians, however, this is an outreach project to reach
those who may not know the Lord or may have wandered away. You can help me
reach out to them.
