What
we see of God's provisions teaches us to trust Him for what we cannot see of
His purposes. The late pastor and theologian A.W. Tozer wrote, "Sometimes when we get
overwhelm we forget how big God is." Jesus
encourages us to step back from worries and fears. Step back and Pray. Consider
His Word. Remember His power, provision and plan. Sometimes it best to react
with no reaction. Move beyond self-led reactions to Spirit-led responses. Our
perspective changes in God's presence. We gain clarity and peace when we adapt
God's perspective instead of our own. His sight is pure, full of grace and
eternal-while our sight is often imperfect, narrowed and worried about the now. David stepped back in awe of God's
love. "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon
and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are
mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?" (Psalm 8: 3-4)
When
we consider the ways that God has provided in the past, it helps us to trust
Him in the present. Step back today and position yourself in His grace.
