[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 90]] ## Title: Perspective is Everything ## Scripture: (Psalm 90:12) “So teach us to consider our mortality, so that we might live wisely.” (NET) ## Observation: Today’s song has a passage that asks God to give us a clear view of how quick life truly is. He is asking for God to give him clear perspective. Perspective is everything. Things that happen to us are not good or bad. They just happen. It all depends on how we look at it. For example, if someone misses an appointment that causes them to not get hired for a job, you would see that as something bad. However, what if they missed that appointment because his wife went into labor and delivered their first child? That changes things. What if someone was pushed down by a stranger? That sounds like a bad thing. Now imagine they were pushed down by a stranger because the stranger was saving them from getting hit by a car. That changes things. Our perspective is usually limited to only a fraction of what is actually going on. By asking God to give us a better perspective, we are asking God to open our eyes to see more of what is truly going on so we can be thankful. If we could see what God was truly doing, we would never doubt His goodness. ## Application: Ask God to open your eyes to see a glimpse of what He is doing today. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for working in ways we will never understand to do things we will never realize.
