The Greater Perspective

We may find ourselves in a powerless situation, in a particular storm of life, where we feel like we're going to sink. We may beg God for peace and guidance, but God may not respond right away.

When we try to hurry God, we're really not living by His wisdom at all. We have no faith that His wisdom, His ways, His thoughts; are above our thoughts or our ways! We don't trust that His plans are greater than what our plans might be.

More often than not, we are too close to the action to see the greater picture. Our subjective bias gets in the way; we can't see the forest for the trees. But God has the perfect perspective. He knows and sees everything!

Just because God doesn't respond when we expect Him to, doesn't mean that He has abandoned us. There is more to a situation than we're able to see.

All things work together for the glory of God.
