He is the God who sees, we too need to see.

About a 2 min read, but worth it:) This from Earl Robinson, leader of LifeSpring Community Church

I've worn glasses since I was a little boy, aged 4 or 5. Everyday, all day, without them, I'm blind as a bat. Yesterday was no different although I had my sunglasses on while driving around in the afternoon. While Rose had her haircut, I had my shades on and when I dropped her off at her club, I had my shades on still. When I looked in all the normal spots for my glasses, my pockets, the cupholder in the car and the always trustworthy sunglasses holder in the car, they weren't there!

Panic set in, a phone call to Rebecca where she canvassed the house didn't help as they were nowhere to be found. As we talked I had a vague recollection of placing them on top of the car while I fussed with a bag, or put something else in the car, but surely I wouldn't drive off with them still up there, right? I did, but the story doesn't end there.

While we were driving back from Andover we heard a really weird pop, as though we'd hit something or an object fell on to the car and bounced. Rebecca remembered this and thought... could the pop have to do with the glasses bouncing? Is it possible that his glasses flew off the car and are on the road? A quick call to Lannah and they were off to the spot where it happened. We prayed and I hoped against hope that they'd be found.

The case was seen first, as you can see destroyed, the glasses however were not in the case, maybe a couple feet away on the road. The case was messed up, the glasses were unscathed! They'd been on the road for 2 hours, not bent, not touched as though placed, not destroyed by being ejected from a moving car or crushed by a passing vehicle.

How did it happen? I don't know. Maybe they slid out of the case and rested safely, maybe the case was hit and they slid out from the force but somehow stayed in tact. What if we hadn't heard that mysterious thud, what if Rebecca didn't suggest going to that spot? Thankfully all that did happen and I can happily wear them again this morning.

There are so many points and ways to learn from this story. For me the main takeaway is we are protected. The Bible says over and over that we are protected by God, whether that's in the shadow of his wing or when we are saved from treacherous waters, so many stories of his protection abound. My glasses, somehow withstood riding the hood of the car, flying onto the road and avoiding moving traffic for 2 hours only to be rescued and worn again.
