Is it really worth it to be a dedicated Christian? Is it worth it to be obey the Lord when those who disobey Him seem to be more prosperous than we are? That’s what Asaph wondered when he wrote Psalm 73. How does it all end? (vv.16,17). Asaph’s perspective was wrong , and that made him question his life until he sought God.

If you look at a distant mountain from one vantage point, you see one thing. But if you move closer or further back, you’ll see something else. Your perspective doesn’t change the fact, but it does change your reaction to the fact.

Have you cleansed your heart in vain? We all want a clean heart. Have you washed your hands in innocence? We all wants clean hands. So we need to go into the sanctuary of God. Tell God exactly how you feel. We need to know from His point of view what it means to live for the Lord. That means getting God’s point of view by spending time with Him in the Word, in Prayer and Meditation.

Check your values with God’s values and your vision with His point of you. Make sure your perspective is the perspective of heaven. That will keep your feet from sleeping, and you will walk with God in victory.

In times of need, your point of view can make a big difference. God wants us to gain His perspective. To do that, we must enter His sanctuary. Meditate on the Word, and fill our heart and mind with it. Then bring all our burdens to the Lord. He will help us to gain His point of view.
