“Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men. He rules by His power forever; His eyes observe the nations; Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.” Psalms 66:5, 7. (NKJV).
“Watch out for that deep drop-off, son.” Grandfather put down his walking stick. “Let’s take a break, check out the scenery.”
Leaning against the rock wall, Grandfather pointed up. “See the eagle? Watch him glide on the thermals. His tremendous eyesight magnifies. Like your binoculars.”
Timmy adjusted them to see the bird. “He’s beautiful and flying free. Looks like I can reach out and touch him.”
“Turn the glasses around. Look through the big end."
“Everything is tiny.” He looked at the rocks at his feet.
“Changes your point of view, doesn’t it? Same binoculars, same view. Changed because of the way you look through the lenses.”
Grandfather tilted his head. “Just think, Timmy. The Lord showed us an amazing principle. He’s all seeing, all knowing. He sees the big picture, but sees the tiny details, too.”
“Awesome. Like my life?”
Grandfather smiled. “Good way to put it. The Lord is awesome in all that He does.” Arm around Timmy’s shoulders, he said. “He cares about every detail of our life and lets us enjoy His mighty works.
“When viewing life, if we look through God's eyepiece, everything’s magnified and we see the large picture. He’s in control. But if we look through the world's lens, we fret, become narrow, even bitter.”
“Another choice, huh?”
“Indeed. Many times during the day.”
Kingdom Thinking. I chose to look through the correct eyepiece on life’s binoculars. Otherwise, my life focus is blurred. The Lord promises never to leave nor forsake me and He loves me with an everlasting love. Let Him hold life’s binoculars so you can see His Works. His viewpoint is awesome.
