~~~ABOVE YOUR PROBLEMS~~~ Those who wait on the Lord....shall mount up with wings like eagles. ~Isaiah 40:31~ One of the pitfalls of living in our troublesome world is that we can become problem-centered rather than God-centered. When this happens, we lose the proper perspective. Gradually, all our problems begin to look huge and the strength of almighty God seems small. Instead of moving mountains by faith, we become constant worries, creating mountains of needless pressure for ourselves and others. Isaiah 40 is an effective prescription for those of us whose God seems small. God reminds us that He is much bigger than the world He created.He points out that compared to Him, the nation are as a drop in bucket and the inhabitants of earth are like grasshoppers. his words arent meant to belittle us, but rather to encourage us to look to Him and gain His perspective of life. Yet, God offers us more than a new perspective. He offers us something that will enable us to live by the view. If we will depend on Him instead of brooding over our problems, He will renew our strength, and wings of faith will lift our hearts above our difficulties. Some of them may be huge, but we can see them as smaller than our great God. And that makes all the difference. Lord, give us wings to soar above Our problems great and small, With strengthened faith and confidence To trust You with them all. WORRY ENDS WHEN FAITH BEGINS.
