Step out of the traffic and take a close look at your God

"Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything."
Psalm 46:10

We are distracted. We are overwhelmed by data and information. News channels offering their slant on current events, friends and coworkers around the water cooler spouting their opinions, TV shows, political figures, your own thoughts and perspectives... it's a veritable avalanche of information.

But does any of it have merit? Do our or anyone else's opinions really matter? 

When you're in the middle of a thick forest, it's hard to focus on anything but the trees, leaves, creatures and sounds around you. Very infrequently will we step outside of the forest or consider the perspective from above it. We will form our opinions by what is closest in proximity, matches most closely with what we want to believe is true. But our thoughts and opinions and perspectives, in essence, are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Step out of the traffic. Step out of the flurry and downpour of other people's opinions... of your own opinions... and look to the Creator for His perspective.

Because His is the only perspective that matters.
