Revelations

One of my favorite Third Day songs off their new record is "Revelation" and it has this chorus:

Give me a revelation
Show me what to do
'Cause I've been trying to find my way
I haven't got a clue
Tell me should I stay here
Or do I need to move
Give me a revelation
I've got nothing without you
I've got nothing without you

I also overheard a friend a couple weeks ago mention the book of Revelation as "Revelations" which I instantly thought to correct (its a bad habit), but then I stopped and took a step back. How do we as Christians view Revelation from God? Is it as if the cover is pulled off by God and we are standing there with something new and wonderful in front of us, God has decided to show us something that He has hidden away?

Or maybe its something different... maybe the blindfold is being removed from our faces, maybe God sharpens our perspective a little bit... almost as if we are guilty of putting the blindfold there and God is saying "silly, open your eyes, look at My creation..." what if God has been waiting in plain sight for us to remove the dirt from our lenses...

It comes down to how we view God "showing" us things. Does our lack of sight come from our problems or God's mystery? Could it be both? These are the thoughts I'm wrestling with.

How does this thinking change who we are?
