God is everywhere and everywhen - in place and moment. He pines, "If they would see, then I would heal..." (Matthew 13:15) and he bemoans when his people have hardened hearts such that they are "ever seeing...but not perceiving..." Matthew 13:13.
This seems to be a continual theme for God and he has many times "opened the eyes" of people, whether it be Elisha (2 Kings 6:17), those who need to see sin for what it is (Psalm 91:18) or the truths of God's instructions (Psalm 119:18). Opening the eyes of people is part of his plan for bringing the Messiah to earth and freeing people (Isaiah 42:7) and for them to be able to live in the light of his salvation (Acts 26:17-18)
What catches your eye? What light reveals God's truths and salvation which can open your mind, also? We usually stay in the abstract with the words that we read, but could you use your optic sense to take in greater God-Truths? Could you see him in nature, in art, in faces, in beauty, in storm and calm?
Ask God to show you his truths through your senses. Wait for it. Thank him for the chance to receive revelation through any means. Don't let it go in one eye and out the other.
