you will see the glory of God

Ordinarily I wouldn't link to something like this because it belongs on the pages of supermarket checkout stand reading. I can't tell if it's a real post, or something contrived. But I suppose this is no less different than seeing Mary in burned toast or Jesus on the tailgate of a truck. Those are the recent ones. You can apparently find a whole bunch more.

The fascination with seeing religious icons everywhere you look in everyday objects tells us something, I think. It says something about Christianity since you don't hear anyone mention seeing Buddha in the clouds or Mohammed in the dryer sheets. It may merely be some reflection on Christianity's unholy flood of religious pictures.

On the other hand, it also speaks to our innate need to see God. Lord tells us in Ecclesiastes that He has put eternity into our hearts. We have it in us to seek Him seeking us. And perhaps the excitement over all these random images is merely the excitement of finding and being found.
