ABOVE YOUR PROBLEMS... READ: ISAIAH 40:15, 17-22 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 large, and the strength of Almighty God seems small. Instead of moving mountains by faith, we become constant worriers, 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 nations are like a drop in a bucket. (vs 15) and the inhabitants of earth are like grasshoppers. (vs 22). 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 that 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 in the world!
