Navigating the New Reality: A Biblical Perspective

1. Recognize the Limitations of Our Current Perspective

As we navigate the new reality, it's essential to acknowledge that our current perspective may be limited. We may have fallen into ruts and adopted ways of seeing things that no longer serve us. The Bible encourages us to "set our hearts on what [God] wants" (Hebrews 12:2) and to "look unto Jesus" (Hebrews 12:2) as our source of guidance and truth. This means being willing to question our assumptions and seek a fresh perspective.

2. Develop New Desires through Biblical Vision

To develop new desires, we can use Dallas Willard's VIM strategy, which emphasizes embracing the right vision of reality and goodness. For example, seeing another person as God's image-bearing creation can change our perspective on how we interact with them. This biblical vision can help us see the world in a new light and develop new desires that align with God's will. As we focus on the reality of the spiritual world, we can gain a deeper understanding of God's character and purposes.

3. Seek a Deeper Understanding of the Spiritual World

To change our intuitive perspective on the reality of the spiritual world, we need to seek a deeper understanding of God's character and purposes. This involves exploring the Bible and seeking guidance from God's Spirit. By doing so, we can gain a more nuanced understanding of the spiritual world and develop a more accurate intuition about how to navigate it. As we seek a deeper understanding, we can also develop a more biblical worldview that guides our decisions and actions. Ultimately, navigating the new reality requires a willingness to seek God's guidance and truth, and to be open to new perspectives and experiences. By doing so, we can develop a more accurate intuition about how to navigate the spiritual world and live out our faith in a way that honors God.
