Sometimes what we look at right before us we cannot see clearly until we sharpen our spiritual focus. Seeing versus truly perceiving frames a powerful exploration of biblical examples in which people failed or succeeded in spiritual discernment. For example, David saw Bathsheba's beauty but failed to see the spiritual danger or the devastating consequences that would follow. Samson clearly saw Delilah's charm but failed to see Satan's trap. Although gifted as a Nazarite, he squandered his calling, losing both his strength and his sight. Eve saw the fruit's beauty and Satan's deceptive brilliance but failed to see the deadly cost of disobedience. Peter saw Jesus yet failed to perceive Satan's influence when Jesus rebuked him. In stark contrast, Joseph saw clearly when Potiphar's wife tempted him, discerning the evil at work and fled, declaring, "How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" Even though he suffered unjustly, Joseph's spiritual sight remained fixed on God, leading to eventual exaltation. Like a lion on the prowl, Satan does not attack our strength but our weaknesses, waiting for the unguarded moment to pounce. David, Samson, Eve, and Peter all faced the lion and faltered, mistaking beauty, comfort, or pride for safety. Thankfully, Peter later grew wise, exposing deception in Acts 5, and admonishing believers to "stay alert and sober." Feast of Tabernacles attendees, amid joy and abundance, must remain watchful because Satan may hide in pleasure, pride, or indulgence. We must train our spiritual eyes to see beyond appearances, discerning deception, recognizing God's presence.
