Perspective

“If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed.
If you look within, you’ll be depressed.
If you look to God you’ll be at rest.”
• Corrie Ten Boom

It is all perspective, and how and what you look to for your solutions.

For the most part, our culture has been looking more and more at the world, and inside themselves for their strength, power and direction.

Why would we be surprised when society has the such a growing suicide, murder, and violence rate?

There is no solid foundation in our own selves, or the world, to set our lives on so that we can be grounded and have clarity.

☆ For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.
• 1 Corinthians 14:33

But when we look at God as the source of all things…that is the most solid, firm and permanent foundation a person can have.

Then, if we understand it is only by HIS power that all things CAN be done,
It makes it so much easier for us to submit to Him.

☆ Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.
• 1 Peter 5:6

So, when we have the solid foundation of God,
Whose power we can submit to,
It will create within us, the ability to see HIS glory.

And when we can see HIS awesome beauty
Understand the enormity of HIS power…

We will have the right perspective of who is in charge, who has control, who makes all things, and who get all the glory.

☆ And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
• 2 Corinthians 3:18

I love you guys!
