Perspective change

Ten car crashes every minute makes our heads spin. Start throwing out such statistics and our perspective become quickly grave. We can't comprehend the numbers of children starving to death today any better than we can comprehend our governments debt. When we look at those numbers it would be right to stand for a moment in the atheists shoes. Is this evidence of a good God? How do we change our perspective? The answer is by doing just that: change your perspective. It is the fool who says in his heart there is no God. The average person breathes about twenty thousand times each day, and not one of those breaths can be attributed to skill, talent, or even knowledge of how to breathe. Yet not one of those is taken aside from the grace of a loving Creator. Smarter men will tell me that the brain makes 100 million MIPS (computer instructions per second). For comparison, a nice 2011 personal computer with Intel Core i7 Extreme makes 177,730 MIPS. Look at those numbers people. Your brain has the capacity to... not to mention the creativity... Is it a holy paradox that your body is 65% water, but the minute we go under water and it enters our lungs we drown? What will it take for our words to be filled with praise and our thoughts to be overflowing in gratefulness? Every 44 seconds someone dies of heart disease. As for you, your heart will pump 1900 gallons today without your conscious thought. In fact, even with your incredible 100 million MIPS brain, you couldn't consciously stop your heart from beating.

"Great is Thy faithfulness!" "Great is Thy faithfulness!"
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
"Great is Thy faithfulness," Lord, unto me!
