Perspective

So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. (2 Corinthians 4:18 NLT)

Life is all about perspective. Early in my ministry a wise minister told me "You either have a big God and little problems, or little problems and a big God," The key is which one you focus on--because the one you focus on always appears bigger. 

I can stand outside and use my hand to block the sun from face. My hand can remove the view of the sun that is millions of times bigger than me. Satan loves to offer us problems to block our view of God. Don't allow the issues of life to distract from the power of God. Don't trade the temporary for the eternal. 

Prayer: Holy Spirit I need some corrective eye surgery. I get too blinded by the immediate issues of life to see the hand of God. As I close my physical eyes in prayer may my spiritual eyes be able to see God's desire for me.
