2 Kings 6:15-17

And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went
out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses
and chariots. And his servant said to him, "Alas, my master!
What shall we do?"

So he [Elisha] answered,"Do not fear, for those who are
with us are more than those who are with them." And Elisha
prayed, and said, "LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may
see." Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man,
and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses
and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Have you ever heard the expression, "You can't see the for-
est because of the trees."? When in the midst of a problem,
it is easy to lose one's perspective. Sadly, it is often
a tragedy that brings ones perspective back into balance.
It is good to ask yourself, sometimes, what is really
important, here, and is this problem really worth my
getting so upset? Often, the answer is NO!

Let us pray that our eyes, too, may be opened.

God Bless You!

--TODAY'S DAILY NOT SO TRIVIAL TRIVIA QUESTION:

Q. Who was turned into a pillar of salt?

Answer below.

********************

--TODAY'S BIT OF WISDOM/REFLECTION:

As followers of Jesus, we should be seeking God's per-
spective.... Are you, like me, overwhelmed and losing
perspective? We need to stop and climb the mast of the
ship of faith, to see life from God's perspective. It
will change completely what we see.

--FEATURED FUNNY:

In Washington State, a little north of Seattle, is a river
called the Stillaguamish, but it wasn't always called that.
It was originally named "Aguamish" after a local Indian
tribe.

When Lewis & Clark finally made their way to the west coast
they came to the Aguamish tribe and met the chief who told
them what the name of the river was and gave them a tour of
the area.

Years later Merriweather Lewis returned and met the Aguamish
chief again and the subject finally came around to the
river:

"Chief, I've been told that, because of so many white men
have arrived in the area, many of the rivers are being
renamed because they couldn't pronounce the names. Tell
me, what is the name of your river now, please," Lewis
pleaded.

"Oh," replied the chief. "It's Stillaguamish."
