Taking photos in the outdoors we see this eagle in flight and pull out our camera's immediately focussing on the eagle close by and blurring out the rest, zooming in to see the detail of the eye forgetting about the rest. Having the right angle to capture the Beauty of the feathers, have the shutter speed just right to catch the perfect shot. Have the aperture bigger to capture more light to emphasize the Eagle. Have the right aspect ratio to get the size of the photo right.
We are so focused on using all these features to get the right shot of the eagle that we miss the beauty of the majestic mountains in the background, the beautiful golden raise on the clouds from the sunset. The mirror reflection of the moon in the water. The golden brown leaves on the tree on the golden grass river bank.
This is what we as Christians so often do with life and the things God puts in our lives. We start to focus on one thing. Zooming in on that and making it the center of our world. Ignoring the rest. But what God actually wants from us is to focus on everything. The eagle, the mountain's, the reflection of the moon, the tree on the river bank, the clouds. God wants us to see the bigger picture. To see everything and ask Him to help you. To trust in Him that He is in control of everything and that he will never leave you nor forsake you.
He wants to help you. Just allow Him to do so.
God is love and love's us abundantly.
