Eyed Click Beetle

I found this bug while inspecting a power pole. (Looking for the pole’s birthmark – probably blog on that sometime). Since my head was rather close to the pole as I moved around it, the bug and I came eye to eye – and I flinched first. The fake eyes did what they were supposed to do, and made me back off.

I later looked it up and found it is an “eyed click beetle”. Definitely right on the eyes but didn’t get to hear it click.

“All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weighs the Spirit” Proverbs 16:2

Big, fake eyes don’t see much. But, the proverbs says our “eyes” (actually referring to our mind’s eye) see what we want to see – making excuses for the wrongs we do. But, the Lord sees clearly into our mind’s eye and on into our heart. Yet, He is still faithful and just to forgive us when we confess.
Praise the Lord for His big heart!
