perspective psalm 8:3 when I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers..... if there is anything our generation lacks in wisdom, its perspective.Sin has always distorted our thoughts making us larger as we ought to be and making GOD smaller than HE is. As a result, our problems seems bigger than GOD, our plans seem better than His will, and our faulty logic makes more sense to us than His infallible Word. what can correct us? what can bring us back into the right perspective? this psalms offers a good approach. all it takes is for us to consider the way things really are. Consider the vastness of GODS work. consider the fraility of our flesh.when we see ourselves relative to GOD, we, along with david in this psalm, are amazed that GOD is even mindfulof us. such a perspective remind us of GRACE- that we are made by GRACE saved by GRACE sustained by GRACE and completely dependent by GRACE the majesty of GODs nameand the glory and honorwith which HE has crowned His fallen creaturesare mind-bogling. What a merciful condescension! the infinite, almighty, eternal GOD--the One who holds vast universes in the palm of His hand---has cared for pitifully small, broken human beings. He Has even crowned us with honor. what staggering contrast of proportion! A glimpse of it will deepen our perspective. Understanding the vastness of GOD and the finiteness of humanity brings us back to sanity. Our problems become smaller than GOD, our plans bow to HIS will, and and our faulty logic submit to HIS WORD. Order is restored. by :Chris Tiegreen
