You know, surely, that a machine is now being used at airports that can see right through you. That's right! See right through you. Sounds like a mechanical mother. "You're not fooling me. I can see right through you!". (Did you ever hear that?) Well the army has gone one better. They now have a device that allows soldiers to see through walls. It could be used in urban areas where many dangerous confrontations occur. This machine would allow a soldier to recon a house and determine enemy locations without going from room to room, not knowing who might be behind a wall or in a closet. That gives a BIG advantage to the soldier with such a device. It is called a radar imaging device. They are just about to put it out for bids. It should be ready by our next war. Some comments from people reading about it are these: " What good is looking through a wall if you can't tell enemies from friendlies?" "Just wish they had been created long ago." "Yet another gizmo to load down already overloaded troops." "As a retired, decorated infantry Sargent and Vietnam vet I think that advertising and providing the technical data on these new advances is stupid!!" So the new see-through invention is not received with open arms. The one in airports is causing a stir as well.
I have news for us all: God has been able to do this for a long, long time. He can see right through us. We may fool the folks around us, but not God. Jesus could not only see through walls, He could walk through them! "While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them 'Peace be with you'. They were startled and frightened thinking they saw a ghost..." Luke 24:36 Jesus could tell his friends from his enemies. He told Judas He knew what the betrayer was up to. He knew Peter would deny Him three times. The amazing truth is that he knows us and can see through us...and He still loves us! When a man like Tiger Woods destroys his clean image we turn on him, and advertisers drop Him like a "hot potato", but that is our way and not God's. We should be forever grateful. "As a father has compassion on his children so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; for he KNOWS how we are formed. He remembers that we are dust". Psalm 103:14
