Do you ever get drawn down and drained by a situation that you run into. As much as you try to forget about it....it becomes the center of your reality.
Last week I read this quote, "Getting bogged down by a problem...zoom out and look at the Big Picture." What an awesome reminder, that when God has and is doing some incredible things....don't get stuck in a rut, don't focus on the zit on your nose, or look at the crack in your windshield but see the beauty around you! Sometimes, even as followers of Jesus, maybe even more as a followers of Jesus, there is a strong urge to get sucked into the devastation & mess of the problems of those around us....rather then trying to help them out of the problems.
Hear these words as encouragement:
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea..." (Psalm 46:1-2).
Even when things are falling apart around us (or way over in Egypt), we can still hold onto God as our refuge and strength. It's so important to see and give thanks for what God has done....and continues to do (....breath, the sunshine today!, clouds, mountains).
Thanks God :)
