Precious Moments That Count For Eternity

DAY 289 OF 366

Heaven’s Perspective The other day, a friend came over with his son. The moment he sat on my couch, his little boy took his mobile phone from him and began running it across the couch as if it were a car. “Vroooommmmm!” I couldn’t help grinning as I watched him play. But my friend was concerned and hovered over his son to ensure that he didn’t drop the phone on the floor. The father had one perspective and use of the mobile, while the little child had a different perspective, which determined its use. After some time, the phone rang, and the child answered it. Now, the father stopped hovering over his son. He knew that the child wouldn’t drop the phone while he was using it for its right purpose. Similarly, heaven urged the apostle John to stop crying, because Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, had triumphed. However, when John looked up, he saw Jesus as a Lamb that was slain. Heaven and earth saw the same Jesus with different perspectives. One saw Him victorious, while the other saw Him slain. Both were not wrong, but if John had seen from heaven’s perspective, his approach to the circumstance – which made him weep, would have changed. Often, we see our difficult circumstances as problems and attacks of the devil and feel disheartened, discouraged, and broken. If only we were to look at the circumstance with heaven’s perspective, we would understand that it is just an opportunity for us to live the victory that Christ died to give us. We would then be able to go through and come out victorious, every single time! A change of perspective changes our attitude, keeps us in peace and takes us through to victory. Heaven is calling us to come higher and see everything from this new perspective. Prayer Father, I thank You that Jesus has triumphed. I pray that I might see my circumstances from heaven’s perspective, so that I may live victorious every single day. Amen.
