What You See Is What You Get: The Power of Spiritual Vision
“What you see is what you get” isn’t just for computers or graphic design; it’s a profound spiritual truth that can shape the entire trajectory of your life. When all you see are your problems—your pain, the bills piling up, broken relationships, or dreams that feel out of reach—you get more of the same. But God offers us a different lens.
In this episode, you’ll discover how the giants you face don’t have the last word. David looked past Goliath’s size to see God’s faithfulness. Joshua and Caleb saw a land of promise while everyone else saw nothing but trouble. Daniel found peace in a den of lions by fixing his eyes on a God bigger than any threat. The difference? Where they chose to focus their spiritual vision.
We’ll discuss openly the everyday struggles: the temptation to spiral into negativity, the harsh reality of heartbreak, and how easily we can become entrenched in the shadows of fear or regret. I’m not here to minimize your pain—you’re not alone, and you’re not unseen. But there is hope. Even when your circumstances don’t change, your perspective can. David wrote, “The Lord is my shepherd,” running from betrayal, not sitting at a banquet table. His world hadn’t changed, but his vision had, and that changed everything.
It’s not about denying reality; it’s about seeing the deeper truth of a God who walks with you through every valley. What you focus on grows—so will you keep your eyes on the size of your challenges, or the size of your Shepherd?
If you’re weary and discouraged, this episode is for you. Let’s walk together and learn to see the goodness and mercy that’s pursuing you, even when you feel stuck in the pit. There’s a better day ahead.
