Perspective…
Thoughts from Mommy Duck…
If you have followed me for a while you know that perspective is a word that means a great deal to me. The exact same situation can look completely different from two different perspectives. It’s one of the reasons I always talk about looking for the good in all things. If you can find the good in your situation then you can find something to be thankful for and it’s hard to be frumpy when you’re busy being thankful!
Today, I had an “ah-ha” of my very own about perspectives and people. You know, God puts some amazing people in our paths to help us along the way. I know our family has been incredibly blessed but the people around us. But along with that also comes the people that let us down. But we are not called to place our trust in either type of person. We are called to trust God and count on him for the details.
From my normal perspective it is easy to allow myself to be hurt and let down. But if I change my focus away from myself, the perspective helps me see things more clearly. You see, God tells us that our trust belongs in Him and Him alone. If we can learn to set our focus to Him, then everything else will take care of itself. The people we need will come at the right moment. When other people let you down it won’t hurt quite so deeply because you will know there is a plan. And that whatever God is up to, it will be infinitely better that anything we can imagine.
Today I was reminded in my quiet time that my trust should rest in God, not man. And if I am willing to trust – God will do more than I can imagine.
Until tomorrow,

Ephesians 3:2
20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
