Indistinct lights

Last night I flew back into Lisbon with lights scattered in abundance down below. I noticed that some seemed to flicker in the distance but once the plane drew nearer they became steady. Apparently this is because when our eyes have limited vision at too long a distance for us the lights appear flickery and/or indistinct. This has caused me to reflect on our need to draw close to God in order to have more clarity and understanding of Him. Think on this - how can we really judge Him from afar?
