Clear Your Longview

It’s a common theme in bible teachings – take a LONGVIEW – don’t get clogged by day to day craze, but take a longer wider gaze…

This was in our devotion Jesus Always for May 3rd (Sarah Young) – stating that “there are times you will have to look THROUGH your circumstances” to see God’s glorious radiant presence – imagine looking at a beautiful garden through dirty glass and only seeing the dirt on the glass and not taking that LONGVIEW out to the garden beyond. This is us not looking at our forever home and secured sanctification and salvation but instead being too clogged in view by our current circumstances.

We need to take a long view.

Yes and AMEN!

“You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.” Acts 2:28 NIV

Dolly Parton has a song (Clear Blue Morning) which take a similar take – and it is from 1977 = lyrics and link below. “‘Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning – I can see the light of a brand new day – I can see the light of a clear blue morning – Oh, and everything’s gonna be all right – It’s gonna be okay”

Dolly Parton, 1977

It’s been a long dark night

And I’ve been a waitin’ for the morning

It’s been a long hard fight

But I see a brand new day a dawning

I’ve been looking for the sunshine

You know I ain’t seen it in so long

But everything’s gonna work out just fine

And everything’s gonna be all right

That’s been all wrong

‘Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning

I can see the light of a brand new day

I can see the light of a clear blue morning

Oh, and everything’s gonna be all right

It’s gonna be okay

It’s been a long long time

Since I’ve known the taste of freedom

And those clinging vines

That had me bound, well I don’t need ’em

Oh, I’ve been like a captured eagle, you know an eagle’s born to fly

Now that I have won my freedom, like an eagle I am eager for the sky

And I can see the light of a clear blue morning

I can see the light of brand new day
