I didn’t realize how hard it is to get a good picture of a cobweb until I failed a number of times. And by “good” I mean a picture where you can actually see the cobweb. The light has to be just so, and it helps if there is dew on the cobweb. Background is important- contrast is necessary. 
I’ve written before about how important perspective is and how different things can look from different perspectives. And how that same principle applies to our lives and seeing God. The natural extension of that principle is that sometimes we need to “move around” and change our perspective before we can see God.
