A World War 2 documentary told a fascinating story about
a difference in perspective of German pilots that were
transferred from the Russian front to France after
the invasion of the Allies.
One Luftwaffe pilot said - “In Russia
our fuel was limited and opportunities to engage the
enemy were few. But now against the British and Americans,
the sky is Full of Targets!”
However the American pilots said, “Man!
“There were so MANY of us, and so FEW of them it
was like shootin’ fish in a barrel!!”
So all problems are a matter of perspective...
While the Germans were greatly outnumbered,
they saw this not as an Unsurmountable Problem,
but instead as a Huge Opportunity.
Likewise the young shepherd boy David did not see
Goliath as a difficult target to hit, but
an opponent so big he couldn’t miss!
This is how God also wants us to perceive our trials.
When you starting realizing that your biggest
challenges are actually hidden opportunities,
they can take you to a place you could never have achieved
if you had not had to go through them.
Friend, be like David and those pilots! See your
targets as so big that when you have to face
them, you can’t miss!
