Are We Living In Stereo?

I have been listening to Newsboys: Thrive (2002) and one of the songs stuck in my head (actually a lot of them did, but thats for a later post). The song "Live in Stereo":

This field guide's got no soul
Digging for the sacred
In a man-made hole

The soil gets harder
The shovel won't behave
I just dug myself
Into a six foot grave

I need a new dimension
Got to Supersize
A Jacobean ladder
To a parallel prize

The walks by faith
The sight lines lie
How am I gonna tag along
With one tin ear
And one glass eye?
Well I...

I can't get there from here
When every sense is in mono
Walk by faith, you appear
I wanna live in stereo

I can't get there from here
Without a God-directed go
Walk by faith, you appear
I've gotta live in stereo

I quit, I fold, I'm done
Trying to scale Everest
Sherpa-less
Ain't fun

The best-laid plans
Are in my other pants
The base camp's buried
In an avalanche

I need a new dimension
Got to Supersize
A Jacobean ladder
To a parallel prize

The walk's by faith
The lone wolf dies
How am I gonna follow you
With blue man ears
And snow blind eyes?


It got me thinkin': As Christians we need to understand that we need to have double perception of Our Universe and God's Heaven and that prayer is the bridge between what is seen and what isn't in this life. Though God is everywhere in this universe and in heaven, He still exists outside of our limited range of perception as fallen humans. That is, until we are in tune enough with God, through prayer, and meditation on the Word, that we are able to realize His presence without our earthly sight.
