Perspective. Sometimes I lose it. Nothing has ever put life in perspective as death. The death of my son.

During this time of so much confusion over a virus that is real and has claimed many lives, there is still chaos over what we should or shouldn't do, wear or not wear, go or not go, close down or not close down, be scared, worried and fearful or not...…. Perspective comes knocking at my door.

I don't think anything will ever affect me the way the loss of my child has. Lessons I've learned from that experience actually help me now during this time of confusion. Lessons in worry, fearfulness, and the unknown future.

Every time I lose perspective, God sees that I get it back pretty quickly. This morning spending time with Him helped me see once again.

Today is was a song; an orange tiger lily (my son's favorite); watching a mother bird care for her babies, and reminding me that God takes care of them, so how much more will He take care of me.

Already, today, these things.

In times such as these where we don't understand all that's going on, and whether there is an agenda, motives, manipulation, fight for power and authority, wealth and rule, this is what I know:
God is in control of it all. He allows and disallows. Whatever is really going on, I can rest in the fact that my God is Omniscient. He knows exactly, who, what, why, where, how and when and He watches over me, holding me, caring for me.

 Nothing escapes Him. Nothing.

"There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD" (Proverbs 21:30).
He has no rival. He has no equal.
He is Sovereign King of the universe.

I don't know what will become of all that is going on, but I am not afraid or anxious anymore.

Perspective came knocking.
