Deeper Insight...

Most people soon realize there is more than one way to interpret something. Some perspectives are shallow and meaningless while others are a far better view. But finding the better perspectives isn’t easy. We live in a noisy world distracting world and we have noisy inner desires that pull our perspectives in the direction of our self interests. How can we find the more helpful insights?
“Moses came down from the mountain carrying the two tablets of The Testimony. When Joshua heard the sound of the people shouting noisily, he said to Moses that sounds like the sound of war in the camp. But Moses said, those aren’t songs of victory or defeat, I hear songs of people throwing a party.” ~Ex.32:15-18
Moses and Joshua had been on the mountain for 40 days getting the ten commandments on tablets of stone. Meanwhile, back at the camp the people had erected an idol of gold and were dancing around it in wild-party fashion. So when Moses and Joshua made their way back to the camp they began to hear the shouts and singing in the distance. Joshua immediately concluded they had been to war and were celebrating their victory or mourning their loss. But Moses had been in closer conversation with God than Joshua. Moses was close enough to hear God say that the people had built an idol for themselves and turned to wild partying. Here’s the lesson; the closer to God we stand, the better perspective we gain. Next to Him is where we see the ‘big picture’ of our life and find DEEPER INSIGHT! ~Verlon
