Try To See Things

Try to see things more and more from My perspective. Let the Light of My Presence so fully fill your mind that you view the world through Me. When little things don’t go as you had hoped, look to Me lightheartedly and say, “Oh, well.” This simple discipline can protect you from being burdened with an accumulation of petty cares and frustrations. If you practice this diligently, you will make a life-changing discovery: You realize that most of the things that worry you are not important. If you shrug them off immediately and return your focus to Me, you will walk through your days with lighter steps and a joyful heart. When serious problems come your way, you will have more reserves for dealing with them. You will not have squandered your energy on petty problems. You may even reach the point where you can agree with the apostle Paul that all your troubles are light and momentary, compared with the eternal glory being achieved by them.

A man’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand his own way?- PROVERBS 20:24 

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.- 2 CORINTHIANS 4:17-18

God knows what is right for us. When we face a situation and it does not turn out the way we hope, we cannot sit and worry or complain, but instead we need to turn to God and thank Him for leading us down the right path. It is hard to view things from God's perspective instead of our own. We cannot see the whole picture, but God can. He knows how things are going to play out in the future and when we ask and seek Him, He will light our paths. After adopting a mentality that God is in control of ever situation it becomes easy to move past a situation that others may fret about for weeks and months. We will get more done in life when we let God take control, instead of us trying to take the drivers seat. So sit back and let Him steer for a while. Pray that He chooses the correct path for you and when He does, accept it, move forward, and thank Him for lifting you above.
