PERSPECTIVES

10/17/11

There’s nothing quite like seeing the world through the eyes of a child. Lately my grandsons have offered me opportunities to see God’s creation in a whole new light---from their perspective. Even allowing one of my grandboys to take pictures with my camera today offered great insight into what they see. Sometimes we could all use a new way of seeing things. If you don’t have young children of your own, join a friend or a relative on an outing with theirs. Or, volunteer in your church nursery. It will refresh your heart---even if you’re as old and as easily fatigued as I am.

Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see— how good God is. Blessed are you who run to him. (The Message, Psalm 34:8)

Meditate on this verse and then allow a child in your life to show you God’s wonderful world from his/her perspective. Allow this viewpoint to bless your heart anew.

My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare. (Psalm 25:15) David’s snare In this psalm is probably different from yours. Is your snare boredom in God’s blessings of creation? Do you need to see life afresh and be thankful?
