"O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise.... When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly things and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet." (v. 1-6)
I remembered the last movie my mom and I were on a date. The movie was called "The Dead Poet Society". It was a very inspiring movie. The main character was an English Professor who was very different from the other instructors. He not only taught english, but about life through english. His methods were uncommon and risque, but very effective. In one scene, he had the students form a line behind the instructor's desk at the front of the room. When it was the next student's turn, he wanted to stand on top of the desk and look around the classroom from a different perspective.
HIs point was to take time to evaluate each situation and circumstances through different perspectives. A mountain to an a fox from the ground looking up may seem enormous, almost endless, and may seem impossible to tackle, whereas an eagle flying above looking down may see the mountain as small, almost flat, and may have already been overcome.
As sons and daughters of God, let us also take on new perspectives of each situations and circumstances differently. If we truly believe and accept God's unending and unconditional love, then there should be no fears. We should be joyful to know that He has taken us in as His royal sons and daughters, and have put everything else under us. If we put our faith in Him, and relinquish these situations to Him, then He will provide us the best solution.
