Our View

Ah, is what might come to mind when we think of the great wonders of the world, or maybe the scene from the top of a mountain after a hike. Or how about sitting at the ocean as the sun is setting for the night.  What great thoughts and feelings may come over you as you think on these things.

God has given us all an opportunity to see things that others may never have had the opportunity to! I recall visiting with a group of Native American youth in Southern California in 2012. These youth were from reservations around the U.S. Many of them were thousands of miles away from home while attending school. Many of these youth had never seen life off their reservation before attending this particular school.

This story is important because it describes for us the way many might view God. Many may never have experienced anything about God other than what they are accustomed to or how they have practiced their faith for decades.

So let's look at how these two thoughts reveal the true love that God has for us... God gives us the ability to experience new things all the time. We may not like the "view from our seat" but the view is there whether we like it or not!

God may give us an opportunity to move out of our comfort zone and allow us to experience the greatness of what he has in store for us if we just "soak it all in"!

So, while we have are in a situation that requires us to look for God's blessing, remember the view God has provided that is right smack in front of us!

Until next time,
