Can't See!

The surgeon general does not approve of this picture. Taking pictures while you drive is dangerous to your health and the well-being of those around you. Phew! Now that is clear (because thinking people don't know that already :) -- I took this picture because there was a rainbow. Not just the tiny blur of rainbow visible in the middle of the photo, but an arrestingly beautiful bow. 
The problem was the camera lens couldn't see it. And it reminded me how often we are confident that we see the whole picture, accurately -- but we don't. Every time we study God's word, worship His majesty, and express our opinions, it is crucial to remember how limited our understanding truly is.
My camera thought it captured everything and as far as everyone who didn't see the rainbow knows, it did. Afterall, it was mostly right. There was a speed limit sign, and an 18-wheeler in front of me -- the sun was really shining. But as the distracted driver of the car, risking her life to take this picture, I can categorically say: The camera didn't see all of reality and failed to capture what was truly important. Unlike God, whose vision is always perfect, our perspective is more like my camera -- focused on getting a great shot of a speed limit sign while distorting the focal point.
