Catch A Glimpse Through God's Eyes

The way we panic at the sight of change, you'd think bombs were falling on Greenville.

There's a massive contrast when you view things in the flesh and then catch a glimpse of them through God's eyes.

It’s the big changes that tend to throw us for a loop. I’ve always loved this quote… “Hold everything lightly and nothing tightly.” It’s solid wisdom because things in life absolutely change. There is such a sense of security in the familiar. And that sense of security goes under attack when we face big change. Perspective is an important thing in the midst of big change. God’s perspective especially is paramount. When everything else feels strange and unknown I’m learning to turn my heart to Jesus. The security I find in the familiarity of Him who is the same yesterday and today and forever makes the big changes in my life a lot less alarming.

God is eternal. He does not live sequential moments, laid out on a timeline, one following then other. His world is one moment, or better stated, momentless. He doesn't view history as a progression of centuries but a single photo. He captures your life, your entire life, in one glance. He sees your birth and your burial in one frame. He knows your beginning and your end because He has neither.

Sometimes our focus is so concentrated on the destination that we lose sight of the One leading us there. Maybe the destination is God Himself.
