      See Your Situation Through God's Eyes 
        Psalm 1:3
        3He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that
brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and
whatever he does shall prosper. 
     
      When darkness covered the face of the earth, God said, "Let there
be light," and there was light. (Genesis 1:3) When a certain man paralyzed
for 38 years lay helpless at the pool of Bethesda, Jesus said, "Rise, take
up your bed and walk," and immediately, the man was healed, took up his bed
and walked. (John 5:8-9)

      You don't say such words unless you see something others don't. God
does not see the way man sees. Man, however, must see the way God sees. We
must see the vision of the Almighty.

      The prophet Balaam saw the vision of the Almighty when the Spirit
of God fell on him. As he looked down from a mountain at the camp of the
Israelites, he found himself saying, "How lovely are your tents, O Jacob!
Your dwellings, O Israel! Like valleys that stretch out, like gardens by
the riverside, like aloes planted by the Lord, like cedars beside the
waters." (Numbers 24:5-6)

      Balaam would not have said this unless he saw Israel not in the
natural, but as God saw it. At that time, the Israelites were a
discontented lot, always murmuring and complaining in the wilderness. But
when God looked at them, He saw them like flourishing gardens planted by
the rivers - fruitful and prosperous.

      Beloved, God wants you to see yourself the way He sees you - "like
a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its
season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall
prosper". So see yourself like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
bringing forth fruit in your season. See yourself as one who will not
wither, whose health will not fail. See whatever you do prospering!

      See the vision of the Almighty. That vision is always a good
vision. Whenever you see your situation through God's eyes, you will find
that your situation will change because when you see as He sees, you allow
Him to work as the Almighty in your life!
