There is a special feeling that comes with flying, the opportunity to see the world from a different perspective. Recently, I had the chance to fly internationally and witness breathtaking views of the Andes Mountains and the North Sea. It's in those moments, high above the ground, that you truly appreciate the beauty and vastness of the world below.
Reminiscing on God's Goodness
My wife and I have been contemplating God's faithfulness in our lives, especially during a year filled with challenges and blessings. It's easy to lose sight of God's faithfulness during tough times, but a new song by Elevation Worship titled 'Great Is' reminded me to reflect on God's goodness. The chorus echoes the sentiment of looking back on one's life and acknowledging God's unwavering faithfulness.
The lyrics say
"When I look back over my life
And I think how good You have been
My soul sings, great is
Great is Your faithfulness"
Much like the bird's eye view from a plane, taking a step back to reflect on our lives can provide us with a broader perspective of God's presence and grace. It's easy to be consumed by everyday struggles, but when we pause to look back, we often see how God has been at work in our lives. Romans 8:28 reassures us that God works for the good of those who love Him, a promise that holds true throughout time.
A Moment of Reflection
God's faithfulness is unwavering, a truth that remains constant amidst life's uncertainties. Today, take a moment to reflect on God's faithfulness. Even if His workings are not immediately visible in your current circumstances, remember that His faithfulness endures. Just as the view from above offers clarity and perspective, reflecting on God's faithfulness can bring peace and reassurance to your soul.
