Daily Word: Perspective. Psalm 121:2

My help comes from ADONAI [the LORD],
Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:2, TLV

 

Perspective.       From time to time, I need reminding. Where I put my glasses. Adding butter to the shopping list. But a truly important reminder is about perspective. GOD’s perspective.

When we think our problems are impossible and overwhelming, we sometimes forget who our Father is — the Creator of the Universe. That’s what today’s verse reminds me of. Our help comes from the Maker of heaven and earth.

But …

Now, how He resolves our impossible and overwhelming dilemmas, well, that’s up to Him. If we remember He knows how the universe works, that He operates in the eternity, then He can probably manage our issues. Don’t you think?

Why is this help available to us? Because of His Son. His Son who redeemed us and made it possible to call the Creator of the Universe, Father, Abba, Dad, Daddy. A redemption that came at such a cost — because of His love. Another of GOD’s perspective — the best one.

Think More About It

What are some God perspectives you need to be reminded of? Love your comments? Let’s get some dialog going!

Until tomorrow, may our perspective identity us as a child of God.

 

Praying for Israel

Your love, ADONAI, is in the heavens,
Your faithfulness up to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God.
Your judgments are like the great deep.
You preserve man and beast, ADONAI. Psalm 36:6-7, TLV

I’m still grieving. If I think too long of the recent events in Israel, the sorrow of these men who were recently returned, well, it’s overwhelming. Can you imagine what they are going through?

So, today’s prayer prompt is a declaration of who God is. We look “up” toward Him—we change our perspective. Remember who He is and trust. For those grieving—here and in Israel—pray that we hold tight that God is still God. His promises will come to fruition. Amen? God bless you.
