The sky, so beautiful and glorious: God said, "Then turn thy gaze toward it." As regards this roof of light, don't be content with just one look: look many times; see: "Are there any flaws?" Since He has told you to look often at this excellent roof, examining it for flaws, know then, how much discernment the dark earth needs.
