But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” One of the things that a photographer must do is to see the way the camera sees. No camera can capture exactly what the human eye sees. Sometimes the camera is limited. For example, cameras can’t capture the range of light that the human can see. Sometimes the camera can see things in ways a human can’t, like waterfalls that look smooth and silky. Pictures like these were achieved by slowing down the amount of time the shutter stays open.
Like the difference between how the camera sees and the way a human sees, God sees differently than humans. And like the photographer who must learn to see what the camera will see in order to make beautiful images, we need to learn to see ourselves and others more like God sees. As the photographer must study the capabilities of the camera, we need to study the word of God. Only then will we see ourselves they way God sees us. Prayer Loving Father, Teach us your ways. Open our eyes so that we can see the way we look in your eyes. Help us to see others the way you see them. Amen
