Exodus 4:10-12 (ESV)
10 But Moses said to the
Lord, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have
spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.” 11 Then the
Lord said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or
seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? 12 Now therefore go, and I will be
with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.”
When you are worried about
problems in your life, do you ever stop to think about where you are coming
from in facing them vs. where God is coming from? Perspective can be an
interesting thing. Consider a $5 bill lying on the ground to be found by 2
different people. 1 person finds it who is homeless and might sustain himself
for 3 days on the food that money would buy. They are grateful for that money
beyond belief. The other person is wealthy and may choose not to pick it up simply
because it is soiled and wouldn't be worth the trouble. Such is true of the
difference in the perspectives of God and man. We see many of our issues as
insurmountable, He sees them as opportunities for us to show our faith and
trust in him, and opportunities for us to learn and grow from the situation.
When trouble finds you, lean not on your understanding, but trust the Lord that
he will see you through.
Dear Lord, we thank You for
opportunities of faith all around us. Give us perspective and help us learn
about Your love each day. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
