Responding Right (2)
DAILY VITAMIN
How do you perceive your greatest challenges? The difference maker between how you are in the problem and how you would be afterwards is your perception of the defined problem. Therefore it's time we start giving these problems their rightful place and GOD His deserved place. There's a story about a lad who had a largely built bully down the street always bothering him. One day his father bought him a new telescope, and he decided to take it for a testrun in the front yard. But he was looking through the wrong end- the big lense. His father came out and said "No son, you are doing it backward. Turn it around and it will make everything bigger like it was meant to do". The lad said " I know, Dad. But right now i'm looking at this bully. And when i look at him this way it makes him so small that i'm not afraid of him anymore". And that's how we should respond too to our frightening ordeals. Sometimes we talk to God about how big our problems are, when we should be talking to our problems about how big our God is. Hence, when you engage any challenge, never approach it with the mindset of 'if i scale through', go with an 'i will scale through' approach. Never see it as a battle, see it as a victory yet to be won. The kid chose to demagnify his fears. Though that doesn't change its size, it changed his perception, and that changes everything. Thus, never sing your problem's songs, sing victory songs because Jesus already won it for our sakes. So when responding to your difficulties, don't focus on it to magnify it, focus on God to reveal just how minute it really is as compared to the Most High. And that my friend is how you respond right.
