The Power Of Rest

DAY 13 OF 30

Unfortunately, too many people live their lives unhappy with where they are in life, disgusted, and hopeless. But in reality, they are only a perspective shift away from freedom.

I grew up in Ohio in a small farming community called Plain Township. It was called Plain Township for a reason. It was completely flat, which was good for farmers, but it was not the most inviting landscape. I subscribed to every hunting and fishing magazine I could: Outdoor Life, Sports Afield, Field & Stream, and others. I would read the great stories of fishing and hunting the wild and beautiful mountains out west and the lush green mountains of the Appalachian Valley only an hour to my east. Yet I never visited any of those areas.

I was 40 years old before I saw my first mountain!

Why? I had the money to travel, I had my own car, Interstate I-70 runs right through my hometown, and going west passes right through the Rocky Mountains. The truth of the matter is I never once thought about going there or even allowed myself to think, I will go there someday. I admired those places through the glossy images of a magazine, but I never thought about going. They could have been on the moon as far as I was concerned; it just was not a possibility in my mind. 

When I was 40 and finally drove out west, I could not believe what I had missed all my life. Now, I have to have a mountain fix at least once a year. Friend, there is more out there than you see. You are more than you see right now! There is a different perspective to life that you need to see and experience.

When you begin to understand and learn how the Kingdom of God operates and what the Kingdom of God says you already have, your perspective will change! As a citizen of the Kingdom, you have legal rights, and every law and principle is now available to you.
