What You See Is What You Get…

“I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth." – Psalm 121:1-2

Politics: Without character and ethics, capitalism and democracy cannot survive for the long haul. Lying, cheating, cooking the books, irresponsibility, self-centeredness are self-destructive. We always reap what we sow – even if it is eventually.

I am thankful for those who are genuine, responsible, honest, and have at heart the best interest of the people they serve – not necessarily giving them what they want, but always seeking to provide, wherever possible, what they genuinely need.

Unfortunately, some people are like this too. We're like "two birds that fly over our nation's deserts: One is the Hummingbird and the other is the Vulture.

The Vultures find the rotting meat of the desert because that is what they look for. They thrive on that diet. But Hummingbirds ignore the smelly flesh of dead animals. Instead, they look for the colorful blossoms of desert plants.

The Vultures live on what was. They live on the past. They fill themselves with what is dead and gone. But Hummingbirds live on what is. They seek new life. They fill themselves with freshness and life. Each bird finds what it is looking for. We all do."

If we look for the good in others, that's what we'll find. If we look for dirt, that's what we will find. The same principle applies to people's view of God. If we want to see Him, we can – everywhere we look. If we don't want to see Him, we won't. The fact remains, people see exactly what they want to see, hear what they want to hear, find what they want to find, and do what they want and choose to do.

It’s like: "Two men are looking out of the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars."

What you look for is what you will see and what you will get.

“You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13.

Seek Him and…

Stay Blessed!
