Head to the Window

Around the turn of the 18th century there was a poet named William Blake; from the time of his childhood, he claimed to experience visions. When Blake was a boy, he claimed to have a vision to which he clung so surely that even his parents began to stop doubting the truth in what he said. In it he claimed that he saw God “put His head to the window” and gaze into his house.

Whether or not you give credence to the thought of a vision, the idea caught my attention. I have often thought of God watching my life and wondered what He thought of it, as if He were a critic watching a movie or reading a book. I imagined His response in the sad moments; I pictured times when He called the angels over to watch a part He knew was going to be good.

The idea may seem strange, I know, but it reminds me of Proverbs 15:3; “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.”

So, however you choose to remember it, keep this in mind: He is watching. What does He see?
