Different Perspectives

Different perspectives shape how we read the same moment. Two people can stand at the same crossroads and see opposite things. One sees risk, the other sees invitation. When we choose well, fear loosens, and faith is activated. God changes our view before He changes the situation, because faith determines the outcome.

Consider the disciples in a storm. The waves were threatening until Jesus spoke. Perspective turns chaos into an opportunity. Faith learns to ask, Lord, what are You showing me here. When we listen, the Spirit reframes pressure as preparation and delay as design.

Scripture anchors this truth: “Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth” (Colossians 3:2 AMP). A higher view steadies the heart. As heaven lifts your eyes, days become filled with purpose. Walk forward with trust, knowing God is shaping how you see and therefore how you live.
