Powers of Observation
When I come home from visiting, my wife will ask me questions about colors or items I noticed. I don’t notice much of anything. However, I am able to notice details in Scripture text after years of practice.
In the television show “Elementary” from about ten years ago, Sherlock has powers of observation different than the ones above. He notices small things that most people would not notice. So does God. God’s Word does not describe God’s notice as the same as mine or my wife’s, or Sherlock’s. But God’s powers of observation are noted in several places. I’ve traced some it by searching out “small things.”
- “Prayer is a sincere, sensible, affectionate pouring out of the heart and soul to God, through Christ, with the strength and assistance of the Holy Spirit, for such things as God has promised, or according to the Word, for the good of the church, with submission, in faith, to the will of God.” - John Bunyan
