Right Perspective

Psalm 110: 1

The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit in the place of honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies, making them a footstool under your feet.”

Have you ever wondered why wicked people succeed?  I know from time to time this can be frustrating.  The scripture says that God will make your enemies your footstool under your feet.  Don’t ever think God doesn’t know what is going on around you.  With the right attitude, God can use that to prosper you over people that don’t like you.

God places people in our lives to test us.  If we get mad and upset when people are promoted over us, then we don’t have the right perspective on life.  What we should be doing is asking God for that promotion.  God wants us to succeed, but if we don’t ask, we don’t receive.  Make sure you ask God for the things you would like to have happen in your life.  God cares about your job and your future.  As long as it lines up with accomplishing His purpose and will, God will bless you for it. 

Remember, don’t let people get you down when they hurt and use others.  Look at it as an opportunity to live right for God and to be a light when things like this happen in your life.  God wants to use you as His vessel to show His love to a dark world. God can use your enemies as footstools today. With the right attitude and perspective, there is nothing that you can’t accomplish through God’s love.
