Life is all about perspective. Perspective is “a particular attitude toward or
way of regarding something; a point of view.” We can often surprise our-
selves by allowing a little bit of perspective into our minds. Consider …
• How big a twenty dollar bill looks when you put it in the collection plate,
but how small it looks when you put it on the grocery store counter.
• How much effort it takes to read a chapter or two of the Bible every day,
but how easy it is to read the daily newspaper.
• How much of a sacrifice it seems to spend an hour worshiping the Lord,
but how easy it is to spend an hour watching TV.
• How easy it is to talk to your friends about your views on world affairs,
but how hard it is to speak about your faith in Jesus Christ.
• How difficult it is to attend the assemblies (including Bible classes and
gospel meetings), but how easy it is to attend recreational functions.
• How we can chat on the phone for hours, but find it a chore to talk to
God in prayer for a few minutes each day.
Hopefully perspective will help you to have your heart right with God, there-
fore producing actions that will please Him.
