“Humans are satisfied with whatever looks good; God probes for what is good.” (Proverbs 16: 2, the Message)

If we are satisfied with only what is superficially good, we are missing what is most right and real. God’s light goes deep, revealing what is good and true and at the same time exposing the false, the flimsy, the ultimately unsatisfying.

Let’s allow God to show us who we are and who others are. Let’s stop looking at surface appearances to decide what is valuable, who is worthy, what will truly be pleasing and healing. Let’s listen to God’s Word and begin to see with our spiritual senses which look past material evidence to perceive the Truth that sets us free.

God alone can judge what is good, for He made what is good. The physical sense of beauty, or substance, or worthiness in individuals and in our lives can’t report the Truth. They can’t see the presence of Love and Life in its true fullness and immortality.

Let’s not be satisfied with what the senses report or what society praises, and instead let’s awake to something deeper, more meaningful, and truer. Let’s allow God to show us the genuine beauty and peace and joy that go beneath the surface and beyond appearances, and which are forever here to behold and to cherish.
