Sculptors have a term for the artists ability to look at a rough piece of stone and see it in its final, perfected form. It is called hyperseeing.
Gutzon Borglum (18671941) is the sculptor who created many well-known public works of art. Probably the most famous is Mt. Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota. Borglums housekeeper captured the concept of hyperseeing when she gazed up at the massive faces of the four US presidents on Mt. Rushmore for the first time. Mr. Borglum, she gasped, how did you know Mr. Lincoln was in that rock?
Hyperseeing is also a good description of our all-seeing God. He sees all that we are and more. He sees what we shall be when He has completed His work and we stand before Him, holy and without blemish: the exact likeness, the very image of Jesus. The God who started this great work in you will keep at it until He completes it on the very day Jesus Christ appears (see Phil. 1:6).
God will not be denied! He has such a longing for our perfection that nothing can or will remain an obstacle until He has finished the work He began so long ago.
If only . . . if only we will put ourselves in the Master Sculptors hands.
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Headed to zero and below tonight and the next few nights. Not a drop of moisture in the air, so no hope of snow yet.
Stay warm!!!!!!
