Psalm 115:3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
SCRIPTURE PERSPECTIVE--GOD'S AND PRAYERFULLY OURS
This is what it takes to see clearly. Our perspective is limited. Walking upon the earth we wonder what lies around the bend and beyond the next rise. Man coursing through the air by plane travel thinks as he looks down, "What a perspective on things I now have!" But there is a curvature to the earth, and even as man passes over, his view is changed and he no longer sees what he once thought he saw so clearly. Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the Lord's purpose that will be accomplished. So we are reminded of perspective. Our God is in the heavens, He does whatever He pleases. His eyes roam to and fro throughout all the earth. Obvious isn't it how in outreach as in all we trust in Him, the God of time and eternity. For what lies around the bend and beyond the rise, Lord give us the spiritual legs to walk and the joyful heart to anticipate.
You might be interested in reading or seeing "Beyond the Next Mountain," which deals with a primitive tribe in northeast India. You can also read about this present day Hmar Tribe in the Cachar and North Cachar Hills of Assam, a tribe which turned from head-hunting to heart hunting through the Gospel of John (as shown in the film/book). A change in perspective, indeed!
