Penny Hunt - "When my husband notices I’m wearing a new pair of earrings, it’s usually not because he thinks they look nice with my outfit. It’s because he thinks they’d make a great pair of fishing lures.
He is an avid fly fisherman and has boxes filled with lures and
specially crafted flies constructed of Feathers, shiny metal
objects, brightly colored pieces of plastic, beads, and other
alluring objects No hungry fish can resist.
After a while he becomes so engrossed in his fly-tying projects he forgets he is wearing the micro-vision glasses.
If I happen to interrupt him, he’s likely to look up without first sliding the glasses to the top of his head. 'Whoaaa!' he’ll say and then quickly remove the glasses.
After a couple of blinks, he regains a normal perspective and is able to see the cup of coffee I’ve brought him.

I get like that more often than I like to admit. I allow the complicated circumstances of life to pull me down into self-solving micro-vision.
I become so focused on the problems I lose sight of the big picture. My vision becomes distorted; I stop trusting God with the outcome and soon am off track.
I become so focused on the problems I lose sight of the big picture. My vision becomes distorted; I stop trusting God with the outcome and soon am off track.
That’s when I need to purposefully stop, take a step back, the way an artist does from the canvas when painting, and ask God to help me see things more clearly from His point of view, trusting Him with the outcome.
Sometimes, physically stepping away from the challenging situations and going for a walk outdoors is a great way to begin regaining a right perspective.
Look to God to help you keep the right perspective."
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your
own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he
will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV

Let’s pray:
Father, I sometimes get my focus on what's concerning me at the time, in stead of looking to You.
I ask that You help me to purposely "step back", and to ask for the "bigger picture", to see how You're involved.
Help me to find ways to re-focus, and to make You the center of my sight. I ask this in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Today’s Bible verse: Is. 58:8 "Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy reward."
Today’s quote: Our
Daily Bread – “A change in behavior begins with Jesus
changing our heart.” 6/5/13
Some thoughts today: God desires for us to recognize our sin, and to repent. Ps. 51:4
- Meekness is related to humbleness, not weakness. God looks for broken and contrite hearts. Ps. 51:17
- As we abide in Christ, we experience His presence.
