WIDDLE PROBLEMS, WIDDLES FEARS!

WIDDLE PROBLEMS, WIDDLE FEARS
 
My youngest daughter has been flying with us since she was an “arm and lap” baby. However, the lightbulb came on, and she realized for the first time that flying literally involved going up in the air when she was about four years old. I was sitting by her when she looked out of the window during takeoff. She watched while we rolled down the runway and lifted off. Then she looked down below and turned to look at me with those great big toddler eyes and said with a childish lisp, “Wook, Daddy, wook!” and turned to look out the window again.
“What is it, baby? I said.
“Wook, widdle houses, widdle people, widdle cars.”
I said, baby, those houses, cars, and people are normal sized; they look small because we are high up in the sky.”
My daughter shook her head and said, “No, Daddy- widdle houses, widdle cars!
It ws as if she thought we had flown over some fairy-tale land where everyone was about one inch tall, and people drove tiny plastic cars and lived in miniature houses. Her natural immaturity made it difficult for me to explain what a difference in perspective does to the perception of size and distance. Instead of looking at those things at the eye level and vantage point of a forty-inch-high child, she was now looking down on them. An elevated perspective changes everything.
That is why you can come into worship service weighed down with big troubles and insurmountable problems and suddenly sense a change the moment you catch an “updraft” of the Spirit. When you begin to worship, you ascend to join the object of your adoration. The Bible says God “made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Suddenly you find yourself soaring in His presence. When you take time to look down, the childlike part of you wants to turn to him in awe and wonder to say, “Wook, Daddy! Widdle troubles, widdle problems, widdle fears.
