If you had an original PS2 console back in the day, then perhaps you felt this same pain that I did… the fateful day that my dutiful PlayStation 2 that had never let me down before failed to read a disc. After trying multiple “lens cleaner disc” solutions as well as an entire container of canned air to fix it, I finally sent my system in to Sony to confirm what I already knew to be true… while my PS2 could read discs with a clear back (DVD’s) just fine, it could not read any disc with a blue or black back (CD’s) due to a faulty laser lens that had to be adjusted. It was not an issue with the disc or even the PS2 itself… it was the lens inside that had to be changed to read the disc correctly so it could display the game.

If we are being honest, there are many Biblical passages that can be challenging both to read as well as to understand, but there is nothing wrong with God’s Word… it simply isn’t designed to make sense when being viewed through the  flawed lens of our limited human perspective. Trying to comprehend the wisdom of the eternal God with our finite minds is impossible without allowing His Spirit to guide us, replacing our narrow perception with His omniscient direction. Rather than reject what we find problematic, let’s surrender our lens to Him so He can adjust our flawed point of view into alignment with Him.

These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:13-14

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9
