So, What’s Your Point of View? – Encouragement from Pastor Gary

Do you recall having someone pointing toward something and saying “It’s right there.  Do you see it?”  In spite of how intently you looked, you just didn’t see what they were pointing toward.  Then, suddenly, it came into view!  Often, the answers we seek are right in front of us, but we just do not see them.

I believe one hindrance that keeps us from seeing our answers directly relates to how we see ourselves.  How do you see yourself?  What’s your point of view about YOU?  According to scripture, you are chosen by God, redeemed, co-heir with Christ, more than an overcomer, created in God’s image, etc…  In just these few descriptions alone, you can clearly see that you are in a winning position in Christ Jesus!  Let me encourage you to begin seeing yourself as just that!

Carl Lewis, one of the famous all time greats in track and field, when asked how he won so often, replied, “I win because I see myself winning in advance and I win because I expect to win.”

What’s your point of view?  Are you looking at circumstances from the view of an overcomer?  If you are feeling defeated, then there are obstacles in your way which are keeping you from seeing what you need to see.  Change your position.  Change your point of view.  Looking from the a scriptural perspective makes all of the difference!
