In my spiritual reflections—especially when I meditate on the Psalms—I notice a different attitude than what I experience in my everyday routines. During these times, I feel myself drawing closer to God—developing a more intimate connection—gaining a deeper understanding of what it truly means to be near Him, to dwell constantly in His divine presence. The Word itself is vast and limitless; even Christ, in His human form, continues to comprehend eternity—His understanding surpassing all human knowledge. The confidence that grows within us through prayer and praise—these sacred acts—stir a new kind of faith within our hearts. They renew our sense of closeness to God, transforming who we are at the very core. As we draw nearer to Him, we catch a glimpse of the eternal reality of being in Christ; we are being shaped and molded into His image, and even our physical selves are subtly affected by this divine work. This is why the instruction to keep our eyes fixed on Christ remains so essential—it guides us through moments of darkness and shadow, leading us toward the eternal light of His presence. The saints who have gone before us—those whose eyes were fixed on Him—continue to serve as guiding lights, their lives testifying to the ongoing revelation of divine truth. Their experiences often surpass those of the apostles, like Paul, showing us that the depths of divine understanding are ever-expanding. Even in David’s time, the potential for knowing God deeply was present; yet, the more we grow in knowledge, the richer and more profound this divine reality becomes, always rooted in the same eternal truth. I believe I have some understanding—though I recognize it is limited—that there exists a realm beyond our current perception, something different from what we can see or grasp now. This reality isn’t just a fleeting phenomenon but is woven into the very fabric of ongoing divine revelation—an essential principle that continues to unfold. Not that we invent new truths ourselves, but that those who have gone before us continue to speak into a greater, more profound reality. Their words echo with clarity that transcends time, revealing truths that go far deeper than mere human language can express. Even as we cling to the written Word—those sacred words once spoken and recorded—there is an eternal dimension to them: the Word is not merely ink on parchment but the very presence of God Himself. Every divine word carries the mark of the Trinity; it is alive, dynamic, and always unfolding, inviting us into a deeper understanding. Through divine illumination, this Word creates reality within us—transforming our inner being. Yet, despite this divine presence, our understanding remains imperfect; we move from direct experience of the Word to a more distant reflection of its effects, always longing to come closer. The high view of God expressed in the Psalms fosters harmony within us—between our soul and body—prompting us toward spiritual balance and enlightenment. As we undergo this transformation, we begin to see glimpses of Christ’s glory; in beholding Him, we are reminded of our eternal identity. In a sense, we are already in heaven—raised up with Christ in this present life—more fully than those who first walked with Him. Everything necessary has been given to us; we share in His authority, ruling over all creation because we are united with Him in His eternal purpose.
