Isaiah & Mr. Holmes

"And he said, "Go, and say to this people:

"'Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
keep on seeing, but do not perceive.'

Make the heart of this people dull,

and their ears heavy,

and blind their eyes;

lest they see with their eyes,

and hear with their ears,

and understand with their hearts,

and turn and be healed.""

Isaiah 6:9-10 English Standard Version

This is so true! How many things do I see but do not see, hear but it goes in one ear and out the other. This was actually one of Sherlock Holmes's favorite sayings, "You see, but you do not observe," meaning that merely laying your eyes on something and actually mentally taking in its significance or not the same thing.

May I see and observe, hear and understand, all that God is teaching me.
