Quarantine Devotional #3 - "Perspective"

Dear Manna Family:

Perspective is one of my favorite words.
It means point of view, and it refers to a place where you stand in order to view the world around you.
Sometimes when you are driving, you will see a sign that says “scenic outlook” or “scenic overview.”
This usually refers to an elevated point from where you can see the ‘big picture.’
In the middle of a global pandemic, we need a big picture point of view.
We need God’s point of view.

One example of seeing a situation from God’s perspective is the prophet Elisha.
God had supernaturally enabled Elisha to warn the king of Israel about upcoming attacks by the king of Syria, who shared a border with Israel.
So the king of Syria sent an army into Israel to capture Elisha.

2 Kings 6: 14 And he sent horses and chariots and a great army there and they came by night and surrounded the city.
Vs 15 Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city.
