I will never forget one of my afternoon lectures in my Psychology 101 class at Sydney University. The professor projected a picture of a small black dot in the middle of a very big white screen. He asked us, “What do you see?”
Every student immediately responded to his question, “A black dot.” He paused for a while, and then asked again, “What do you see?”
The entire class failed to see the big white space around the dot! Our eyes naturally focused on the black dot, and it took much concentration to focus on the white space!
The same is true in our lives, and that’s why it is essential that we renew our minds so we can see the bigger picture. The more we focus on God and magnify Him in our lives, the smaller the black dot will become.
And so I ask you the same question as my professor did that day: what do you see?
Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:2 NKJV).
Ask God for His perspective, His vision and His eyes today!
