Things don\u2019t always go according to plan. By getting into the habit of big picture thinking, we can avoid getting lost or heading in the wrong direction. We\u2019ll be able to stay one step ahead, be better prepared to adapt as needed, and to adopt new strategies in order to remain on track and keep moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>By rooting our problems in our purpose, we can stay focused on our goals and prevent inaction, fear, anxiety, depression, and paralysis. One essential element of the big picture is that we need to put it in the context of an even bigger picture, which is viewing it from God\u2019s perspective.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This completes the real big picture; however, many of us tend to neglect or discount this aspect in our daily lives. To fully understand and determine our purpose in life, we need a wide-angle view to help us answer the fundamental questions like \u201cWho am I?\u201d and \u201cWhat am I doing here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our destination is literally out of this world and is bigger than any big picture we can imagine. By rooting ourselves in God, we realize that we are part of God\u2019s plan. We gain a clearer understanding and motivation regarding why we are here and what we need to be doing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If we can see our lives and the bigger picture through God\u2019s perspective, then our eyes will be opened to His presence and to how much He is intentionally involved in our lives. Our purpose and motivation will rise to a whole new level.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>With agility, we can respond to God\u2019s guidance and proactively embrace change. As we go through life\u2019s twists and turns, valleys and mountains, we can remain spiritually alert and continue to grow in faith. We will be able to respond quickly with ease, strength, stability, grace, and wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>God\u2019s perspective is not limited like ours is. If we compare our perspective to that of a submarine, we are under the water in darkness, whereas God\u2019s unlimited perspective is like a periscope. He can see beyond what we can see. He knows where we are and where we are heading. Align yourself with God\u2019s perspective, trust in His bigger picture, and everything will go according to plan.<\/p>\n<p>Antoinette Giacobbe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our world of constant change and uncertainty, agility has become a more valuable skill.
