The Power Of Discouragement
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★The difference between the size of the sun and the size of a quarter is a difference of a few millimeters and millions of miles. Yet, we can hold that tiny quarter so close to our eyes that we cannot see the sun. It is the same with our problems. Though God is so much greater than any problem we’ll ever face, we can look so closely at our problems that we allow them to block our vision of God’s presence in our lives.
The point
Problems, though tiny compared to God, can block our vision of His greatness when we focus too closely on them.
