It’s all a matter of perspective. As the years of life pass, certain things come into focus much more so than when you are younger.
It’s a strange phenomenon, but as your natural eyes fail and the world around you begins to blur, your spiritual eyes sharpen, Holy Spirit boost to your spiritual engine. Let go! Yes, it’s often easier to let go as you age both naturally and spiritually because humility simultaneously coming into focus. To take advantage of this phenomenon you have to let go! Might this be an uplifting word, a settles in. But consider this, no matter what age you are right now, and no matter how advanced in the faith, this one thing is true. At this very moment, you are the youngest you will ever be for the rest of your life; yes, at this very moment, and at this moment, and again at this moment.
And may this unrelenting truth inspire a shift in perspective. Everything the Father does, everything He orders, is for our good as His children. It’s easy to inherit the beliefs of those who went before us, but that can be both a blessing and a trap. Each generation must be willing to evaluate what came before them and decide if what they inherited is good seed or has it been genetically altered.
For instance, Y’shua was the great Rabbi who specialized in shifting perspectives. “You’ve heard is said, but I tell you…” was paramount as He became the inflection point in human history. His audience had inherited certain lies and He was there to help them pivot. “I did not come to abolish the law, but to elaborate on it, so all could see the fullness of it.” God’s law is the operating system of creation, the fabric of the universe. You can see it as oppressive and death defining, or you can take on a whole new perspective; the law is spiritual; the law is holy; the law is just; and the law is good. “You’ve heard is said, ‘What is good has become death to me.’ But I say, ‘When the infection of sin in your blood is exposed by God’s operating system, a simple shift in perspective will show you that this is God’s way of saving your life, not His oppressive design to kill you!’” It’s all a matter of perspective.
