A View from Above
Another Day Along the Way
Friday, January 27, 2006
Another day,
Eyes see more when viewing from above.
I remembered and experienced that again last week. Typing while flying, I saw from under clouds and among clouds and above clouds. Afternoon darkness and brilliant light. Storms and beauty. A sun shining. A world of cities below. My son Aaron nodded and smiled as we saw so much while viewing together from above.
Eyes see more when viewing from above.
Aaron and I glanced from above while riding through Georgia hills. We observed Georgia Tech while glancing out of windows and eating Chili Dawgs at the Varsity. We sat tall, watching a basketball game from seats up high. We talked about past and future, about plans and goals, about life as we see it from the best perspectives.
Eyes see more when viewing from above.
Last night Debbie, Taylor and I sat with friends while watching a high school basketball game back home in Orlando. Our son Graham played: we cheered. Our son Aaron walked as part of the sweetheart court: Deb took pictures. Higher seats proved distance, angle and view that the best seats in the house fail to offer. From above, fans can see a better glance of defensive changes, offensive moves, and in-bound tricks.
Eyes see more when viewing from above.
Since that is true, I wonder why I doubt God so much. I often desire to live in a “my way or the highway” mentality. I fail to remember how God’s glance actually sees reality from the High Way. He sees all. He knows all. Today, I want to trust Him. Trust His view, His glance, His perspective.
I pray to trust God’s view from above.
Along the way,
