Perspective



                                             CORNFIELD MAZE
Perspective:

Imagine walking through a cornfield Maze.  The cornstalks loom tall on either side of you.   You come to a junction, and wonder which direction to take.  It can be frightening.  You wonder if you can find your way out.


Imagine looking at the Maze from an airplane.  The designs are amazing, beautiful.



When we encounter difficulties in life, it’s like walking thru a Cornfield maze.  We feel surrounded by our problems. We can't find our way out. We wonder about decisions and wonder how the situation will ever end.

But God has a different perspective.  He sees the whole picture, and He knows the beginning from the end.   The Word tells us:

Isaiah 55: 8  “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.  As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher that your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

And God does not expect us to go through troubles by ourselves.  Matt 28:20  “I will be with you all the day”

Isaiah 30:21  "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, walk this way”
