We recently had guests visit the nation we serve in. It’s always refreshing to see and hear things through other people’s eyes. It engages us in the power of perspective.
- Perspective has the power to re-center.
- Perspective tears down tunnel vision.
- Perspective lifts up our head and helps us to look outward.
Our default mode is to focus on ourselves and our situations. The longer we do this, we can begin to magnify things. If these are negative forces, we can eventually lose the plot.
We can zero in on various testings and trials we face.
- Issues with our children.
- Frustration with our job or our co-workers
- Comparison of our spouse with another.
- Anger towards our government and whatever issue pushes our buttons.
- Discontent with our local church.
