Choices, Part 12
O God,
Help us to choose the broad view over the narrow view.
We acknowledge that everything that happens in our lives, be it little or big, is important and needs to be affirmed and dealt with as such. It is life, after all.
We also acknowledge that we cannot see things as you see them; we are limited while you are unlimited and we are within time while you are outside of time.
And yet we are told that you are through your Spirit with us and within us so it stands to reason that we can grow toward seeing the world and toward seeing life as you see them.
So help us to grow toward seeing things from an eternal perspective that takes all things seriously but that also sees them in their proper context—the context of your eternal gracious purpose toward which you are moving all things.
Help us to choose the broad view over the narrow view.
Amen.
