Devotional:
When your heart has been broken into tiny pieces, it’s easy for the circumstances of life to be seen from a tainted perspective. You see, the world tells us that we see through our eyes. But through scripture, we learn that we see the world through our hearts.
There are some of you going through difficult situations right now, and you’re seeing God as the villain. Instead of praising Him, you see Him as the reason you have nothing to praise about. Instead of “God I thank you” your constant internal dialogue is full of, “God, how could you?” Through the lens of a broken heart, it’s no wonder your perspective is flawed.
I too, struggled with this. When situations came, I saw God as the cause and not the solution. Because of this, I found myself angry, frustrated and pulling further away from His presence. Until He began to heal my heart. As He healed my heart, He healed my perspective.
Beloved, your situation doesn’t change who God is, it comes to make you seek Him more. So may you find yourself in God’s arms and allow Him to heal the broken spaces and in turn renew your perspective.
Don’t shut God out, invite Him in…
Scripture(s) Meditation:
”I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,“
Ephesians 1:18 NIV
”Out of my distress I called on the Lord; The Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can [mere] man do to me? The Lord is on my side, He is among those who help me; Therefore I will look [in triumph] on those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the Lord Than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord Than to trust in princes.“
Psalms 118:5-9 AMP

Reflection Question(s): We invite you to discuss below.
Be honest, when you’re going through a difficult situation, do you shut God out or let Him in? When you do this, how is your spiritual life altered? Do you experience growth or decay? What vices or bad habits return? What will you do to heal your perspective in difficult situations?
