D&C 131:7-8 -- On Seeing More

"There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All spirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by purer eyes;
We cannot see it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all matter."
Doctrine and Covenants 131:7-8


This is interesting stuff.  We already know that there is a lot of stuff that we don't understand that God can teach us, and this is a hint at one of the things to come... the idea that some matter is more fine or pure, and that perhaps someday we will be able to see a lot more, when our bodies are changed, presumably at resurrection, is fascinating.

To me, I think it helps to remind us that God can see / understand much more than we can, on so many levels.  If we can't see everything there is to see, we likely have just as much to still learn in so many other ways, right?

Today, let's remember to look to God for instruction.  Let's humble ourselves and realize that we have limitations that we need God's help to overcome.  He can see what we cannot, physically and spiritually, and he can help us and prepare us for what is to come.
