All of a sudden a white flash distorts my view. It hits without any warning. It can happen anytime of the day or night. There is no rhyme or reason to it. It just hits. Sometimes it is kind and other times not so kind. Sometimes with pain and others times without any. One thing that is consistent is that it distorts my view. It moves slowly over until all I can see is it's glare. Then moving on slowly leaves like it came. I do not understand it.As with the aura that comes from migraine is our earthly perspective. Sometimes in a flash things can change and we not even recognize it. All of a sudden in a flash the way we see things can change. Innocently and perhaps unknown our perspective is skewed. It is not seen in the right light anymore. Something knocked it off balance distorting our view of things. It can be painful and unkind. But the way we see things are not as they always are.
The right perspective all the time is God's perspective. Oh, that He would give our hearts eyes to see Him clearly. Then perhaps our eyes will see others in that same light. Things are not what they seem. The prophet Jeremiah states, "our hearts are beyond understanding and cure." Yet God knows us and gives us a solution. Hebrews 4:12 states, " For the word of God is living and active...............it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Let us measure all things to His word so that we avoid the spiritual migraine by keeping the proper perspective.

Do you get migranes? Ouch, that is tough. I used to get them terrible, but not so much with the blinding light, just intense pain that made me want to just put my head down and shut off the lights to rest.
You've made a good analogy about what happens in life, sometimes we are "blindsided" by events, but God knows just what to do and like you shared, when we view things from His perspective, it may not always make sense, it may not be completely clear, but He gives us hope through His Word that He is in control and that He will help us through.
Thanks for the post my friend. A good reminder that we are not in control but can trust the One who is.
Love love love this! I can so relate to the migrane connection here.
His perspective....I'm going to have to ask for more of that!
love you
steph.
