A Second Opinion!

When it comes to getting a second opinion, often it is sought simply because the opinion (or diagnosis) given first is not what the one receiving it desired to hear. Too many times God’s prophets were rejected because the message, though true, was not good news.

Someone has said, “Seeing ourselves as others see us wouldn’t do any good. We wouldn’t believe it.” [source: calendar quote]

Could this be true regarding our perception of ourselves? How OPEN are we to how our life is perceived? Do we only believe as we see it? Certainly others may not have a true perspective of every aspect of our being, but another opinion (beyond our own) is often helpful in assessing our life and keeping it on a godly track.

David stated…
“(23) SEARCH ME, O God, and know my heart! TRY ME and know my thoughts! (24) AND SEE if there be any grievous way in me, AND LEAD ME IN THE WAY EVERLASTING!” ( Psalm 139:23-24 ESV)

David was OPEN to and desirous of God’s evaluation. He knew it was what he needed and what he could count on. May we share that same OPENNESS and desire as well. God’s view of our lives is to be believed!

Have a great day SEEKING GOD’S VIEW FIRST AND FOREMOST!
