Have you considered your perspective today? It has sometimes been said that everything is just a matter of perspective. But if everything is just a matter of perspective we'd get confused because even that would be a perspective. Faith can also be like a perspective when we believe only those things we see or want.
A couple of days ago I flew a trip to South America and had this wonderful perspective out my window. It's interesting that I see things differently looking down from above. God's perspective is a complete picture as only he can see things in the ultimate way as he looks down from above.
Another one of my favorite "perspectives" is Psalm 8:3-4 where King David was looking up and said,
"When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon, and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?"
He goes on to say that God not only is mindful of mankind but he has crowned us with glory and honor. This is because we are made in the image of God as we know from Genesis. God's perspective is very good and when we see the glory of creation we can see a true perspective of ourselves and of the God of all ages. Finding God's perspective is great.
FAITH TODAY: Psalm 8:1 - "O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens."
Thanks for the reminder! Well said.
