Recently I saw an article where an estate agent was in trouble because they had taken a picture of a delightful cottage in the North of Scotland, but failed to show the massive power station right behind it. The bigger picture told the whole story.

For them this was a bad thing, but in our lives it is good to keep a view of the bigger picture, for too often we get bogged down in the daily challenges rather than seeing Gods hand at work in shaping us for his bigger plan. Too often we fret over the small stuff yet if we only stepped back and chose to see what is good and uplifting then our whole view might be altered.
