What is perspective?
What have you changed your views about recently?
What were your beliefs five years ago?
Have you ever been in an argument with someone and later discovered that it was all a misunderstanding?
What are the beliefs of the oldest people you know that differ from yours?
Why might their beliefs be different? What could change over time?
“For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; [6] and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; [7] and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. [8] For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. [9] But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.”
-2 Peter 1:5-9 (NIV)
God’s perspective is complete. He sees all things.
What do you know that you can’t see?
How could that hinder your decision making process?
“for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.”
-Job 28:24 (NIV)
Think about allowing God to direct your decisions small and large, because He knows the future, and understands the universe, because He set it in motion.
