Seeing Through His Eyes

Picture with me a little boy who had gone to a fair with his father. Initially, he held on to his father's hand. Suddenly he lost his grip and drifted away from his father in the midst of a maddening crowd. 

He started to perspire profusely; the big, tall adults who were over him blocked his view. Gradually it became a little difficult to breath down where he was standing. It was a frightening experience. 

Finally, he cried out for his father at the top of his lungs. All of a sudden out of nowhere, two strong hands picked him up and hugged him tightly.  Yes! His father came to his rescue.

Often times, we are like this little boy, life’s threatening blows overwhelm us and we get disillusioned, discouraged and depressed. 

In our desperation, we cry out for His divine intervention. 

The Lord comes and lifts us up to see. He gives us new perspectives, He gives us new strategies, He grants us added strength and fills our hearts with new found hope and expectations. 

The mountains may still be there but He says: "You are more than conquerors in Me and you will triumph". 

God is not bound by space, time or distance. He is almighty, omnipresent and omnipotent.  He is limitless and fully dependable. We serve a great and a marvelous God.
