Do you make a lot of stuff that doesn't generally make a difference? I realize I have. How could it be that what we hold onto as fundamental, pressing and significant at a given second mists our viewpoint on what is genuinely significant?
This previous end of the week we may have seen one of (if not) the best Super Bowl game ever. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots designed a definitive rebound in Super Bowl history to send the game into extra time.
At that point the Patriots completed the move to the head of the mountain as James White pigeon over the objective line to dominate the match. In the post-game meetings these words were thrown around, "pivotal occasion," "zenith," and "most prominent ever."
The players, mentors and group devotees will be the ones to clutch the memory and experience of this game. The person who put down 1,000,000 dollar wager on the Falcons only before game time is likewise far-fetched to overlook this game. Be that as it may, one year from now will it matter?
It's each of the a matter of viewpoint.
Not long after the Super Bowl finished, I got an instant message from a companion. "If you don't mind appeal to God for my child in-law's sibling was hit on his bicycle. At clinic, had cerebrum medical procedure, very genuine. In Coma for week."
Steve was struck by a quick in and out driver while on a cycling exercise. A spouse and father of five young men running in age from 3-months to nine-years of age, Steve stays in a trance like state. Steve and his family will recollect this Super Bowl Sunday for very different reasons.
It's each of the a matter of point of view.
As I was composing this, I contemplated past Super Bowls. Who won and lost the last five Super Bowls? Who performed at half time? Would I be able to recollect any of the $17,000 every second plugs from years past?
In the event that I had taken a composed test, I would have flopped wretchedly. What's more, I am an avid supporter! Try not to pick me to be your Trivial Pursuit accomplice!
What's genuinely significant?
It's each of the a matter of viewpoint.
Consistently can be loaded up with occasions, encounters and experiences we build out as our own "Super Bowl's." They come and go each introducing an interesting chance to perform at what you have been called to do.
As Martin Luther King Jr. stated, "In the event that it falls your parcel to be a road sweeper, clear roads like Michelangelo painted pictures, clear roads like Beethoven formed music… Sweep roads so well that all the hosts of paradise and earth should respite and state: Here carried on an incredible road sweeper who cleared his job well."
Point of view is important to turning into an extraordinary road sweeper. It expects us to zero in on the present—today! In 12 months' time we probably won't be clearing roads or playing in the Super Bowl.
I am petitioning God for Steve and his family. It is minutes like this that I wind up attempting to see the opposite side of the woven artwork of life, looking to sort out the masterfulness. The tangled and muddled yarn held firmly along with a heap of bunches is unrecognizable.
At that point, turning it over, I see a grand picture loaded with amazement and excellence. The amazing workmanship reflecting how well we played and how well we cleared roads.
It's about point of view. Taking a gander at the world through the viewpoint of, "Who would i be able to help and serve today?," can change lives, move hearts and open prospects. How about we make sure to stop now and again and flip the embroidery over to see God's creativity.
