Putting one foot in front of the other, taking the very breath of life from God, soaking up the wisdom from those around you, each is beneficial in the walk of perspective. The shoes may fit great today but tomorrow that pesky little toe may have the nail creeping over the edge to rub a terrible blister. So as the marathon runner preservers to finish her race with a very painful blood blister she crosses the finish line with perseverance and perspective but not with out pain.
All those who have given Jesus the invitation of walking, running, sprinting, resting, and living life with them know that we have not been promised the "easy cake walk" on this earth. But OH the promises for this life are so sweet. If you choose to have Christ as your perspective there will be peace and joy in every storm.
Perspective: Lean not on your own understanding but in all your ways acknowledge God.
Perseverance: I can do all things through Christ Jesus who gives me strength. Philippians
Pain: Consider it all joy, 'my sisters', whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. James
Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you.
I pray for you today to be able to use these verses in your life and develop a kingdom perspective to persevere through the pain to grow closer to the One who loves you with an incredible passion.
