Finding new ideas, expanding your success and developing new strategies will never take shape if you are caught seeing the world with the same old glasses. Looking in the same old places gives the same old perspective. But when you carve a new path, your chances for new discoveries will greatly increase.
Hebrews call this process Faith,”The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see.” (Hebrews 11:1) Faith is the ability to seek out new perspectives and be persuaded by what you have found. This persuasion forms vision. Sight lines in faith are not always linear. Look for a new perspective and fined something worth believing in.
