It’s so easy for us to get the wrong perspective of the Christian life. We get our nose pressed right up to the window of the present, and we don’t see anything else. As someone has put it, “You can put a dime over your eye and blot out the sun.” Well, that dime is like the present, it blots out God’s plan and purpose for our lives. Don’t be discouraged because present circumstances and present things are not working out for you. Recognize that for the child of God that “all things work together for good.” That is, a good that’s off yonder in the distance.
