God’s Perspective
“For His eyes are upon the ways of man, and He seeth all his goings” (Job 34:21).
It is important to see things through the eyes of God our Father, and to have His perspective on what is going on in our lives. In the above verse, Elihu brought this before his friend Job, who had been going through severe trials. It was not until Job realized that God knew best and had a perfect plan for him that he began to get peace. Once He saw things from God’s perspective there was submission and blessing.
This is a hard lesson, and recently my wife and I had our summer plans radically changed. Flights cancelled, weddings missed, Bible conferences unattended, and naturally speaking, life turned upside down. Instead, we had doctors’ appointments, medical tests and scans, and eventually major surgery from which I am still recovering. As disappointing as all this is, we realize that our Lord has a plan of wisdom and love behind it all, and we are reminded of the verse, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord. For as the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8-9).
