When we see an object, light bounces off it, then reaches our eye and is refracted by the cornea and lens and focused into an image on the retina. But the image made on the retina is upside down and reversed. It's up to the brain to make sense out of it.
We can believe that our eyes work without knowing how they work!
Do we run for cover every time we see a 150,000 pound object fly over our head? Or do we trust that the plane will continue to fly?
If we are in an underground cave at 9:00am; do we know or think or trust that the sun is shining outside?
If we do not believe in such things as birds, will they suddenly fall from the sky?
Have you ever watched something extraordinary happen and wonder if what you saw really happened? Sometimes we can blink and something or someone disappears? At least that’s what we thought we saw.
Something that you previously thought was impossible.
But if you continue to badger the point; you’ll eventually chalk it up to a vivid imagination.
Why do we believe in things we cannot understand?
Faith is believing the intangible, and being absorbed into the mystery.
‘Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.’ Heb11:1
