"Dust Mites" or "Dragons"?

Are you and I facing dust mites or dragons?

What in the heck am I talking about? Here it is, all through life we face stuff, those things than knock us off track. All too often the issues are not really what we think they are. At times we minimize things that are really bigger than we want to accept. Other times we make things much bigger than they really are. But what is the difference? Perspective...

"Dust Mites" - Ominous, ugly, nuisance creatures that look as if they can devour us. They are found when we focus way too hard on something that doesn't deserve it. But when we step back we realize we can't even see them.

"Dragons" - Creatures that we all too often minimize as not even being real. In reality, the dragon has come to steal (our joy), kill (our spirit) and destroy (our life).

This leaves us with one question left...how can we tell the difference? Ask. Ask God to show us the reality. Ask others who we trust to help get a proper perspective.
