Jericho through God's Eyes - and an Eight-Year-Old's Eyes

This picture was created by Jesper Leggatt (8), a boy from London, who drew this fantastic picture inspired by Jago's illustration in the Jesus Story Book Bible.
I love this picture. It reminds me that God sees totally different than we do - and often times so do 8 year olds.

Think about that long line of dots outside the huge, fortified heavily guarded wall of Jericho - they are the Israelites who have just crossed over from 40 years in the dessert to claim their promised land. From the outside, each one of those Israelites had no idea how God was going to give them that city. I'm sure some were petrified. I'm sure many doubted that they would ever get to see the inside of those walls. They were marching in that line out of obedience to God and for something bigger than their own lives - their children and their children. God saw things totally different. So did Jesper when he drew this. We would be wise to enter into spaces and paths that help us to look upon life as God and eight-year-olds do!
