From the Wrong Perspective

Have you ever felt overwhelmed? or like something you want to do is utterly impossible? Maybe you have the wrong perspective (view, vantage point, outlook). Perhaps, you're looking at the situation from your own human standpoint and not from a divine one.

In the book of Numbers, we learn that the children of Israel sent spies into the Promised Land to determine if the land was good and get an idea of what kind of people they were going to have to overthrow. Ten out of twelve spies saw giants they could never defeat. Those ten naysayers forgot that God had already given them the Promised Land, and they already had the victory. Only two men, Joshua and Caleb, came back with an awesome report, and they told the people that God could easily deliver the land to them.

Are you facing giants? Making a career change? Financial issues? Thinking of starting a business and feeling overwhelmed in the process? Maybe you're looking at it from the wrong point of view.

True. You may not have the resources, know-how, or support to do this huge feat you feel led to do, but the reality is that with God all things are possible. Even the most overwhelming impossible thing facing you know.

Stop looking at your situation through your eyes and remember that God is bigger than the problem, and in His eyes, it's a small thing.

Change your perspective in the upcoming weeks, stop worrying about what you can't do, and focus on what God can do!
