"A New Perspective" 

 

Today, I want to thank God for the new perspective or outlook that He gives His people, and boy, do we need it at times! Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong? You get up and head out for an important appointment only to find the car won't start. You are dressed for your appointment and while you are tinkering with your vehicle you get dirt and grease on your attire, and on and on. You are angry and frustrated and wish you could go back to bed and start your daye over.

After a time of stress and negative thoughts, something comes over you letting you know everything going to be alright. Yes, I think we've all been there. Isn't it amazing how God uses seemingly bad situations to help us grow spiritually closer to Him, giving us a Godlier perspective of life. We can thank God that while we are going through the process of becoming conformed to the image of Christ, everything we go through can be seen as a teaching moment.

Romans 8:28; "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (KJV)

We can thank God that, instead of an empty world view of life, He gives us a heavenly, meaningful perspective.

2Cor 5:17; "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

Folks, unless we have a view of the next world, we can't make sense of our present existence.

Have a blessed day and keep on keeping on for Jesus!​ - Pastor Tom
