Sometimes in life it when things are not going good I wonder where is God or how could He let this happen to me or to anybody. When cancer comes, when jobs are stressful, when friends or family make bad decisions, when marriage seems harder than it should be, it is in those times easy to ask where God is.
The problem for me most often when in this situation is best illustrated by this picture.
You see there are many people in the maze but each person can only see the part of the maze they are in, and it seems like it makes no sense and there is no way out. If they would only look to the people in the middle of the maze on the high point who can see the whole maze at one time, then the big picture could be explained to them and they could be given directions on how to get out.
Life is a lot the same………I am often in the maze of life, lost and confused wondering how God could leave me in the situation I am in. The problem though is not always as it seems because I am looking at the problem (maze) from our perspective. If I would just look to Jesus for all my questions and doubts and ask for guidance He could very easily help me make sense out of my maze of life. Because He sees the whole maze at one time, and He sees the maze from my point of view and every other person who is in the maze point of view.
Therein lies the reason of why I try to see my life from God’s perspective!

Thanks for the thought provoking post. It's sure hard to focus on that BIG PICTURE!
