Make Sense Of It...

It’s hard to know what lens we are viewing our life through. Most people seldom consider that they have a perspective that has been shaped by their history and that perspective sits on their faces like a pair of glasses. Everyone views the world and their life’s events through a very particular set of glasses. The question then, “is that perspective accurate”? David, the great kind of Israel, realized that his perspective was incapable of rightly interpreting the events occurring around him. Here is one of his famous prayers to God…
“Without you, nothing makes sense.” ~Psalms 16:2
The wise person admits that they have a certain pair of glasses on their eyes by which they view everything around them. And the doubly wise person admits that their glasses don’t explain everything accurately. So, the ‘doubly wise’ invite God’s perspective to trump their own on a regular basis. The technical word for this is ‘epistemology’, and it means how we derive knowledge. People who don’t keep an ear toward heaven only have two sources of knowledge, 1)their experiences and 2)others experiences. But for those who have turned an ear toward heaven, they have a third source of epistemology, the insight of God Himself. This is called wisdom, discernment, and the ‘hearing prayer’. There are many things that will occur in our lives this month in which only by hearing from heaven can we MAKE SENSE OF IT! ~verlon
