Proper Perspective

Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

It can be a struggle for photographers to implant a sense of perspective to photographs. One technique is to place an individual in the picture. When looking at this waterfall the viewer isn't quite sure how big it is, that is, until you see the fisherman in the middle right of the picture.

It's easy to lose perspective in life.

The voices that surround us, even from loving friends and family, might get in the way of a proper perspective. The voice or voices inside of us might be a stumbling block to a proper perspective.

A proper perspective in life is found in God's Word.

"You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus." 2 Timothy 3:15 New Living Translation

This is why knowing the Scriptures is important. The Scriptures give us the proper perspective on life. Take the the Word of God out of our lives and we lose our ability to discern God's proper perspective for us.

This doesn't mean we'll always like what God's Word says, but we trust that it is his Word of life.
