How do you perceive your life? Are you a believer in Christ who always sees through natural lenses and views everything coming your way from a physical force and purpose or do u see through the spiritual lenses that helps you to determine every step you take as ordered by the Lord? (Ps 37:23) How do these two outlooks differ and how do they plan your day? Let’s consider how your life could change in a positive way coming from the viewpoint from the latter side.

Let’s consider a circumstance that comes our way and is not convenient for us. Do we complain and murmur until this passes or do we look for the tidbits of God and His purposes, even during those times? If we look from a positive perspective then we are going to be more at peace, and will find fulfillment in everything we do everyday. Who knows how God could direct your steps right into someone’s life that can propel you into greater depths with Him and the fulfillment of that greater call He has for you? He did this with Mary in Luke 1 sending an angel to her to declare a much higher calling and purpose with the plans to bring Jesus into this world using her. She was a virgin who probably didn’t understand in complete what or how God was going to fulfill His plan for her. She wasn’t going to be at ease during these life circumstances. Actually it brought trials and tribulations and heartache and pain her way. First consider her and her fiance and how they couldn’t be united physically until way after they were married and saw the birth of Jesus. So for at least the first nine months of their marriage they remained separate. Once they were married they were told to leave the country they were in and head for a different place. But instead of complaining she believed God and His plan for her. Instead of arguing she just followed the Spirit leading her and brought from her womb the Savior of the world Who was perfectly fit for a King.
