Climbing

Ever since I was little I loved to climb things.  Rocks, trees, mountains, even onto the roof of my house.  When I climb up high on a mountain and look out across the valley, I begin to see how small I am in comparison to the rest of the world.  Things that might seem like big problems when I’m in my office seem to be less important up there. 

“In prayer I shift my point of view away from my own selfishness.  I climb above timberline and look down at the speck that is myself.  I gaze at the stars and recall what role I or any of us play in a universe beyond comprehension.  Prayer is the act of seeing reality from God’s point of view.” -Philip Yancey

With how busy life can get its easy to loose sight of God’s point of view.  But we shouldn’t let it go that easy.  Take a moment today to pray for God’s point of view.  And if it helps, go climb something!
