It’s no surprise that fear or discouragement can distort reality. In those instances it’s crucial to remember that what you see of reality is a small piece of the whole. Consider the prophet Elijah. He believed that he was the only prophet left serving Israel, particularly after Queen Jezebel killed many prophets and he felt overwhelmed by the widespread idolatry of Baal. But God revealed to him that there were 7,000 others in Israel who hadn’t bowed to Baal (1 Kings 19). Why couldn’t he see that? Because he was blinded by his isolation and discouragement. Don’t be blinded by your circumstances; look beyond the way things appear.
