"A Different Perspective"

"I know that you can do all things;  no plan of Yours can be thwarted.  You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?  Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know."  Job 42:2-3

When things in your life appear to be falling apart, and you can't seem to make any sense of the obstacles and challenges before you, it may be time for you do reach for a different perspective.  Job, obviously, had no choice but to cry out to God in his times of desperation.  But we don't have to wait until our lives become absolute chaos to reach out for heaven's perspective.  Every single one of us will encounter "surprise attacks", setbacks and tests during our walk with God.   In these shift seasons,  we can either choose to speak life and move forward in faith...or we can camp out and settle into our suffering.  I must admit, it can be very tempting to just stop in our moment of pain and just stay there.  But oh how this is not God's plan for you and I.  No!  As believers and followers of Jesus Christ, we are obligated to TRUST Him no matter what life throws at us.  It is totally unrealistic to know exactly what to be prepared for when you are thrust suddenly into situations similar to Daniel's lions den experience or Joseph's pit predicament.  However, if you are seriously developing your walk of faith by consistent prayer, fellowship and meditation on the Holy Word of God;  when your season of testing comes, by God's abundant grace you will come through.

Life is a wonderful, sweet journey as we continue to draw closer and closer to the One who is the Lover of our Soul.  Our Redeemer and Savior Jesus Christ, the One and only Lord, will never give us more than what we can endure.  Trust Him,  even when its the toughest because these are the moments that your flesh is being subdued by the active power of the Spirit of God living inside of you!  II Cor. 12:8-10, Jesus says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My Strength is made perfect in weakness.  Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." (NKJV)

A different perspective may be all that you need to propel you into the next exciting season God has prepared for you!  Don't allow your friends or your situation steal the promise of breakthrough that  God's Word has promised.  Sometimes we have to walk the separate road.  The road that is often lonely, but never without our Faithful God.  We have to learn to say "no" to the unbelief of our modern culture and say "Yes" to the Victory and Power that awaits every single child of God.  Are you willing to live a supernatural life?  Are you desperate for a different perspective?  My dear friend, this is your day!  The next step is looking up, and opening your heart to God's Heart...He has been waiting all along, what will you do?
