A Balanced Perspective!

 “[It is] better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that [is] the end of all men; AND THE LIVING WILL LAY [IT] ON HIS HEART.” (Eccl. 7:2)

                      

The word “Perspective” means the way you see things. It is important that we have the right perspective about life; otherwise we will not be prepared to deal properly with the varying seasons of life which involves laughter and also mourning. This means it is a cocktail of good and bad times.

I have seen pampered kids grow up with the notion that life is going to pamper them. Some of them become misfits forever. As an outreacher, I have come to realize that even students who feel too proud and refuse to learn during school eras fail in their final exams.

As A PROPHET, I see both sides of the coin. I can return from a wedding to visit someone dying in the hospital. I see the joy of being married and the importance of being prepared to meet your saviour. In a day, you can have all manner of people visiting you with contrary expectations and issues.

Your job circles or status as a student can shield you from such sights.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO VISIT THE SICK AND THE DYING AFTER PLAYING GOLF OR SPEAKING IN HEAVY TONGUES OR EVEN AFTER EATING AND STUDYING TAKE A WALK OUTSIDE YOUR ROOM AND OFFER HELP TO A NEEDY FRIEND. IT WILL REMIND YOU OF YOUR OWN HUMANITY AND MAKE YOU HUMBLE AND FEARFUL BEFORE GOD! IT WILL HELP YOU TO VALUE YOUR FAMILY AND RELATIONSHIPS!
