It's Monday morning. You wake up to the sound of your alarm. You hop in the shower, throw on your clothes, grab a little something for breakfast, walk the dog and you're off to work. You're driving in the car, listening to your favorite song, cruising on the interstate everything is going great and then it happens...traffic like you have never seen before. All lanes at a complete standstill. The thought that comes into your head is "are you f'ing kidding me! I can tell the way this day is gonna go." And from that point forward, the rest of your day is totally based upon your negative attitude. The day becomes "a day from hell."
Coming from me, an extremely faith driven, God fearing, spiritual being, and this is only my perspective, I see the devil working so diligently in so many peoples lives.
Double Vision, for me, a recovering alcoholic, used to be something that happened to me when I had to much to drink, (which too much was never enough, but that's beside the point). Now, after having turned my will and my life completely over to the care of God, I look at Double Vision from a totally different perspective.
One of my biggest inspirations and fellow friend in the program shared in a meeting one night that heaven and hell lives inside of him at all times. When a situation occurs we are given a chance to address the situation by using our Double Vision. The choice we have, is completely up to us. We can choose to view the situation from the vision of heaven, or we can choose to view the situation from the vision of hell.
Let's take a look at the traffic situation. The vision that the devil will love for us to choose, would be the vision of anger and frustration, which in turn will trickle down into everything that takes place that day and essentially ruin our whole day. We become the devils #1 player for that day, in other words, he wins. The other choice we have, which I don't see chosen very often is the spiritual, heavenly vision. In this situation for me, the first thing I would think of, is that God feels a need to work on my patience. Secondly I would think about the devil and how he will put situations in your day which will affect the way you act and think. He wants to control your life. Will you let him?
If you can make that decision to turn your will and lives over to care of God, you will begin to look at every situation from a heavenly perspective.
Since I have made my decision to do so, all situations that I encounter have began to look more like opportunities than problems. I believe all situations are meant to teach us something, just as long a we choose the correct vision.
