A different perspective

I was flying from San Antonio to Houston TX yesterday and was thinking about how things look differently depending on where you are. When I was on the ground in San Antonio, it was cloudy and rainy. There was no sunshine and you wouldn't even know it was there except that you remember that it was in the sky yesterday. When we left the ground and got above the clouds there was a beautiful sunrise (6:00 am flight).

This is like the unsaved person vs. the saved. In troubles, the unsaved can only see the clouds and doesn't even know the sun exists. This is kind of hopeless and depressing. How great it is to know that the sun (Son) is above our troubles. It is easy for us to only see the clouds too. It is obvious when we get through our troubles that the Son was there all the time but faith is weak and we forget or ignore what a Savior we have.
