Our Viewpoint
"Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, 'We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.' But the men who had gone up with him said, 'We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are.'"
Numbers 13:30-31
Our viewpoint often affects how we make it through day by day.
Two men fell on hard times. Try as they might, they couldn't find work. They heard that a museum was willing to pay $50 apiece for live rattlesnakes so, in desperation, they decided to catch snakes.
Outfitted with a net and basket, they hiked to a remote area renowned for its large snake population. But as they scaled a steep ledge, the rock gave way and they tumbled down the slippery bank -- into a deep pit crawling with rattlesnakes!
One of the men quickly sized up the situation and shouted excitedly to his friend, "Look! We're rich! We're rich!"
What's your viewpoint of the coming week?
Prayer: Ask God to help you see things from the right perspective.
"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
~Abraham Lincoln
