Someone recently shared this -
"I recently had the opportunity to visit a friend, one evening, who lives on the 28th floor of an apartment building. Standing on the balcony I could see the city with a completely new perspective. I was amazed at the expanse of the city, the beauty of the lights and the business of life as cars drive around. I never realized the vast network of roads my city had, nor the greenery nor the number of buildings and looking at the city lights, i wondered at the amount of electricity we consumed in keeping the city alive. Looking at the skyline changed my perspective of the government who provided us all these facilities, the ingenuity of people and of the city itself".
"And then I thought how limited my vision and understanding were when I was on the ground level.
It struck me then why it is better to trust in God. He can see much further than I ever can, has a perfect understanding of the world because He created it and can give perfect directions because He can see and understand everything. Like the city God never sleeps. Unlike the city, He sees everything".
"Standing on that balcony that evening I realized the truth of Proverbs 3 verse 5-
(Proverbs 3:5) Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."
Because our understanding of things, on the ground floor of this universe, is limited by our vision. Because of this, we not only need to surrender desires but also relinquish control of our decision making to the one who can see all.
As far as we can see is only the next home. The rest is our imagination, we erroneously call "vision".
