Your Viewfinder

Are you ever overwhelmed by how many choices there are...in nearly every category?

Let's start small: look at your grocer's cereal aisle. How is there room for yet another type that will inevitably need a space?

And on the subject of food, whose nutritional advice is sound?

It seems everyone is clamoring for my dollar, my attention, my freedom of choice.

The same is true for wearing apparel, college and career choice, matchmaking, what we should do with our money over the long haul, and the list goes on.

In our multi-media culture, the choices are amplified over every electronic avenue to which we have access (or that has access to us).

It is exhausting...and confusing...and intimidating.

I decided years ago that if God made me and if He can see all of these choices at one time, why can't it be His job to at least narrow down them down and route me to the ones best for me?

If I am going to trust anyone, including myself, why not trust His big picture access?

I think He offers to be our viewfinder, to narrow our path of choices with His wisdom and the fact that He personally wired each of us uniquely and for His pleasure.

God the Viewfinder. I think He'd like that.
