When the solution to a problem eludes you, step back--you're too close to the problem--and see the big picture.
Have you ever had to step back from something because you were too close to it to see what needed to be seen?
Sometimes
in life, we are too close--to people or problems--to see them with
clarity. However, when we step back or away from them or it, we tend to
see things clearly and can get a better handle on what needs to be
done.
Imagine for a moment, if you will,
this scenario with God as He has just finished His Creation--man. He
stood back and looked upon all He had created--and being able to see
down through all the generations of mankind--all the stuff that we would
do (the wars, the hatred, the violence, infidelity, disobedience, and
rebellion) and said, "It is good." How could He say it is
good, knowing what we would do? When He stepped back, He saw the bigger
picture--He saw Himself coming down to earth to reconcile man back to
Him. He saw that some of us would be so grateful for His love that we
would share the Gospel, willingly. He saw millions of people turning
their lives around from sin to righteousness and encouraging others to
develop a relationship with Him. He saw it all--the solution--and said,
"it is good."
So, if you're too close to
a problem to see your way out clearly, step back, see the big picture and
the solution and say, "it's all good."
