Perspective effects our behavior or reaction to everything. As a child everyone of us has walked with arms outstretched along a curb pretending that we were hundreds of feet from the ground. With a cocky confidence we skip and dance our way from one step to the other thrilling ourselves with our false sense of courage. When suddenly a misstep causes us to tumble into our imaginary abyss but the illusion of danger is shattered by the concrete that beneath our feet. God began gut checking me recently about my own perspective of facts and truth. What's the difference? The facts are something that we see happening in the physical which while feeling very real now happens to be a lie. There are areas of your life that are out of control and things happening that are motions of sin that seem to negate the truth. Plainly put the fact is that we all have problems and issues. The knowledge of that fact won’t set you free for facts are not a solution. Truth on the other hand, has far greater power. The Scripture says You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Freedom rarely results from facts. We've often identified a problem by saying, "The fact remains..." But God has sent the 'Truth' to demonstrate that what appears to be fact doesn't have to remain.
