Fiber-optic Christian perks up their ears

Recently, half a trillion dollars evaporated from the stock market in just a few minutes, triggered by an AI-generated photo that went viral online. It showed an explosion near the Pentagon in the U.S. No one bothered to investigate seeing was believing. Smartphones did the rest. Not very “smart,” of course. Though the investors definitely felt the sting.

It all started so beautifully, didn’t it? A device designed to let us hear one another without seeing each other. Now it's a feast for the eyes. A desirable fruit to become smart from Eve would’ve called it that.

 But it didn’t make us smarter. Just exposed. We share private data freely with companies and governments. On social media, we lay bare our thoughts, grievances, and complaints.

 And in the midst of this visually overstimulated world, a few peculiar people walk around: citizens of a hidden Kingdom. The realm of the God who sent His Word into this world— but didn’t find it necessary to remain visually present. He taught His people not to walk by sight, but to follow Him by faith.

 Their faith is not blind. They know that God’s words give birth to vision.

It took time long walks with God before I realized how limited my own understanding was. And that the first function of language is not communication, but creation. Because as soon as God spoke, things formed in my life... visually.

 And yes, I’m spoiled with fiber-optics. But God proves again and again to be the Eternal One especially when I begin to grumble. I know—I must learn to wait, just like Habakkuk. Ears attuned to see what He will speak within me.

It feels like a lost art. But once you learn to live by listening... even the crick in your neck fades away.

How often do you look up?
