Summary
As we pursue God our vision begins to unfold. We get a picture of who God wants to be for us. Inevitably, obstacles will appear on our journey. Some obstacles are meant to elevate us. Some are meant to slow us down so we don’t miss a crucial part of learning. And some obstacles help us raise our sight and develop larger vision for who we are and what God wants to do in our lives.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, this is Graham Cook. Welcome to the Brilliant Perspective's Podcast. |
| 0:07.0 | Today I want to talk to you about time and timing because you know it's time. God is always saying to us |
| 0:20.0 | today is the day. It's almost like he's saying, well, how about we don't put things off? |
| 0:25.2 | You know, I can handle anything that's going on in your life and I'm teaching you to do exactly the same. |
| 0:31.5 | So why don't we all get in a mindset together where why can't |
| 0:35.1 | today be the day? Today is the day because God is always ready for something. So what we're learning here in the business of life |
| 0:45.9 | is we're learning to be present to the moment in Christ. And it's much better if you |
| 0:52.3 | learn how to abide in Christ, rather than just like do your own life and have some kind of spiritual side to you. |
| 1:01.0 | You know, if you learn how to abide, you're always in the moment with Christ and I found |
| 1:06.4 | for me practicing abiding means I'm unshocable because you are surrounded in this bubble with you and Jesus and anything that comes |
| 1:17.3 | against you if you're in Christ then it's going to hit him before it's you. |
| 1:23.0 | That seems pretty smart to me. |
| 1:25.0 | Yeah, I'm in Christ and he's in me. |
| 1:28.0 | So if I'm in him, anything that's coming against me |
| 1:31.0 | he's going to touch him first, and that's going to give me time to respond. |
| 1:37.0 | So that's why I love peace, for example. |
| 1:40.0 | You know, I love that peace guards my heart and my mind because Jesus in me is the Prince of peace. |
| 1:46.7 | So anything that's coming against me that's trying to take me off focus or out of kilter or whatever, you know, it meets the shock absorber of the |
| 1:56.5 | Prince of Peace before it connects to me. That's pretty smart living. That's why God has orchestrated this whole life in the new man |
| 2:06.8 | because the old man would instantly keel over but the new man is so much more resilient. |
| 2:14.0 | So I want you to think about resilience too. |
| 2:17.0 | What does it take for me to be resilient? |
