Clouds and things

Last night we were visited by friends and as we sat around the camp fire hoping to repeat the previous night's successes with the Perseids (we saw the comet Tuesday night)along came the clouds.

We knew that above our heads great things were happening and yet this reality was hidden by the local 'noise'. This morning as I thought and prayed about people and their issues and problems I started praying that the local 'noise' would cease.

How often we live as if the things unseen, unheard and unfelt are not their because we let our immediates (and those of others) cloud the truth?

"...for now, we see in a mirror dimly."
I've always thought that this passage from Paul in Corinthians is speaking about the same issue you raise; how we let reflections and clouds of this temporal life obscure the truth that God wants us to see...indeed that we will see.
