Zoom-In

Cameras should be simple, I say.  Mr. Bill thinks not.  He prefers cameras that require a three-year degree to understand and operate.  Now, I really like the "zoom" feature although it’s best not to zoom-in on certain things like people's hair or baseball fans eating nachos.  Yeah, there’s some things best to just see from a distance.

It's best not to dwell on some of life’s stuff.  The negatives are all around us: family members aren’t really so wonderful under close observation, work could certainly be better, and neighbors aren't  really all that friendly sometimes.  Psalm 25:17 tells us troubles of the heart are enlarged when we zoom-in on them (dwell on them).  Life takes on new freshness, however, when we focus our lens on better things: “O, God, my heart is fixed;  I will sing and give praise ...” (Psalm 108:1)  Praise and worship changes our focus and zooms-in on God's Goodness, His Grace, and His Glory.  The icky things of life are still there, but they're just not quite so noticeable.  I love what Barbara Johnson says, "Love helps us see through a telescope, not a microscope."  Through the lens of God's love, everything looks differently.  Believer, zoom-in on God’s Word each morning and polish your lens with The Cloth of His Love then picture and praise His Wonderful Name!
