What do you see?

And he said to me, "What do you see?" So I said, "I am looking, and there is a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps. Zechariah 4:2 (NKJV) As I was driving to work one morning this week, I heard his voice ask, "What do you see?" I see the patches of new light emerging, I answered.
