To gain perspective in life, we often need to step back: away from our emotions, our plans and our expectations - in order to consider the big picture. The God-picture. It is so easy to get lost in the drama-filled challenges of life and become overwhelmed by our circumstances. I do this all the time! I get sucked into the drama of a moment and see only what my emotions allow me to see: a dim, slim and flesh-led view. We all have some level of drama, dreams and expectations, but if our emotions lead our responses, it can be difficult to see beyond our moments and mountains. When our hearts are consumed by the emotions of a moment, we can lose sight of what honors God and what really matters. Step back today and position yourself in His grace. Consider the big picture. Lay your day, your plans, your thankfulness, your people, your problems, your wins and your losses before God. Trust His ability to work in and through it all.
