Everyone has dreams. Usually, they look like a set of achievements: a dream house, a dream job, a dream family, a dream vacation. However, in pursuing them, we often become disgruntled and disheartened as challenge, setback, and opposition come in our way. We blame God for what he hasn’t provided yet, instead of asking what he has in store for us today.
Nick Nilson, Associate Pastor at Lakewood Church, offers a tool to overcome these challenges: the power of perspective. As Christians, what if we stopped focusing on what we lack, and instead on the fresh and ever-present power of God in our lives? What would change if we truly believed that God was in the middle of our troubles, woes, and heartache? How can we reaffirm our confidence that He is always working all things for our good?
