As I am exiting this interesting…evolving…stretching…tumultuous… yet necessary season… I pray for those who are going through or entering a season of faithing it… doubt… turmoil and questioning…GO THROUGH IT!!!… God is with you and has made provisions….fix your perspective and trust the process. Pray continuously and walk in faith even if you don’t know if it’s completely the right way…God says in his word just go!!! Know that where ever you go…left or right he is there…just incline unto his voice. Isaiah 30:21..be still when you need to and continue walking. Faith…prayer…praise…worship and thankfulness….will get you through
#perspective…
it’s all about perspective… According to minister google…
“Perception is what you interpret. It is your understanding of a given situation, person, or object. It is the meaning you assign to any given stimulus. Perspective is your point of view.”
In Psychology, perspective is usually divided into at least 5 concepts biological (genes, body, hormones), psychodynamic (Id, ego, superego, unconscious behaviors) behavioral (environmental motivation/influence). Cognitive (decision making, emotions, processes of the mind, etc.), and humanistic (whole being)… These perspectives show how we view human behavior and understand life through emotions, conflict, and thoughts. As we gain perspective rather through life experiences or environmental influences our understanding shifts rather for the betterment or detriment.
As we evolve and hopefully gain a broader perspective… we realize things aren’t always what it actually seems but how you interpret them…. this could mean life…relationships… or vision…
when we begin to see things from God’s perspective we gain clarity…however, even then you will never know the full picture because we aren’t sovereign only the Lord is.
To shift your perspective or better your perspective…
Speak…LIFE… into your atmosphere…walk in silence–until it is time to speak… (it is best to listen and gain understanding in this place)…trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding…Proverbs 3:5-6. Leaning to our own understanding hinders one’s perspective. As you grow in faith you will learn to lean unto what God says and trust that his ways are not our ways… nor his thoughts our thoughts Isaiah 55:8-9. The Lord has a broader understanding more broader than we could ever imagine. We can have a depth of great understanding… however, it will never equate to the knowledge of God. My challenge to you is to change your perspective.
I know life can be unbearable and everything you do pushes against your efforts to stay the course…but you must remember you don’t have to face it alone…examine your life and focus not on your current situation or circumstances…but remember the situations that you thought you would never overcome… the adversities you had to face and how you overcame them…that alone should have given you a broader perspective that God will never leave you nor forsake you.
Remember this:
God chooses whom he chooses…you don’t know how things will work out…however, you can be encouraged knowing that all things work together for the good of those who love him and who are called according to his purpose.
Whatever you are going through… look at it from God’s perspective. No matter what has happened in your life… know that the all-knowing God works everything in the favor of those who love him…he will get the glory out of the situation. He sees every detail of every situation…as we walk through life it is more about trusting that he knows the beginning from the end and we are just walking through it as physical beings as well as spiritual beings.
You will see goodness in the land of the living
Psalm 27:13-14
Ask yourself this:
Examining yourself… how do you see yourself? Is your perspective obscured because of life’s circumstances?… We need a clear vision to see from God’s point of view…We see things from our point of view… our life experiences… and that is where we get it wrong.
Proverbs 16:9 ESV
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Speak this:
I am the head I am not the tail Deut 28:13
I am above not beneath Deut. 28:13
I am seen Genesis 16:13
God knows my name Isaiah 43:1
I am not forgotten 1 peter 1:2
Prayer:
Lord,
change our perspective so that we can see things through the eyes of you. We need help to see things without an obscured viewpoint. Create in us a clean heart and renew in us a right spirit. Lord your word says: that you will be with us and we aren’t forsaken… therefore, we are never alone and can cast our cares on you. Forgive us father for leaning unto our own understanding. Guide our footsteps and make our paths plain. We surrender our way of thinking and trust your sovereignty/omniscience…thank you father for loving us and being so true, solid, and never changing, but ever revealing. We honor you father and thank you… in Jesus’ name we pray amen.
I love you BE@Peace✌🏾❤️🦋
