Seeing the world through God's eyes

Greetings:
Don't you wish you could see through God's eyes and take a look at the situations or circumstances that you might be facing today?
I  am sure we would take comfort and not be so anxious if we knew and could understand what God sees.
When we look at life through our own eyes, we only see what we are living at that moment. We get so absorbed by conditions around us that we let the conditions dictate our lives and our thoughts. We let conditions dictate our responses.
When everything is going our way, we consider ourselves to be happy.
When things are not going the way we think they should be, we become discouraged, unhappy and depressed. Sometimes, we even panic.
We allow our circumstances to fuel the way we feel. We see our problems as bigger than they actually are.
In Jeremiah 32:17 we read: “O Sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!”
Who can match the awesome power of our God?
Our abilities, no matter how great and refined they may be, simply don’t amount to even a  small speck when compared to God's mighty abilities.
Who are we to doubt that God can do what He says he can and will do?  God is not limited by our human frailties and shortcomings.
Is anything too hard for God?
We should never allow our own thinking to persuade us to think that just because we think that something is too hard for us to accomplish that it is also too hard for God. 
In Luke 18:27 Jesus tells His disciples, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
Mark 10:27 also states, “Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.”
No matter what the situation, the problem, the mountain that needs climbed, the hurdle that needs leaped, the sickness that needs healed, the need that needs met – nothing is too hard for God.
Scripture teaches that we can cast all of our cares on God.
But do we do it?
Do we let our doubts and worries take over and dominate our faith?
We all must get it down in our heart and soul that God is the God of miracles and the God of impossibilities.
Nothing is too hard for God. We need to believe it, pray fervently and wait for God to move in a great and might way.
