What Do You See?
It seems we’ve all heard something like this: “perspective can make all the difference in the world.” Is this really true or just another one of those therapeutic clichés?We can all agree that a person’s perspective does make a difference and many times a big difference. How you view yourself and the world around you will greatly influence the way you experience life. Are you a person who sees the glass half-empty or half-full? We know the sun never actually rises or sets, yet our perspective makes it appear to. Our sunset is another’s sunrise.One of my favorite stories about perspective is this letter a college student wrote to her parents:
God's "all things" Truth
It doesn’t take long after reading a few pages of the Bible to learn how BIG our God really is.
Rather than writing about it, I’m going to let God speak for Himself about His “all things” truth.
How did everything come to be? “You created all things” (Rev. 4:11); “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.” (Col. 1:16); “For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.” (Heb. 3:4); “God, who gives life to all things” (1 Tim. 6:13); “The God who made the world and all things in it” (Acts 17:24); “He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things.” (Acts 17:25); “All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being” (John 1:3).
Faithful
What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the word “faithful”? Your spouse? A pet? An appliance or tool? A friend? Semper Fi? Rain in the Puget Sound area? “Old Faithful” at Yellowstone National Park? The Mariners playoff drought (20 years…the longest active postseason drought in the four major men’s North American sports—I’m not bitter)?
