The world is geared so that it wants everything done right now. But you can't do the work of God that way.
We need perspective in our thinking; in our studying; in our approach to God.
I am so thankful for what I call perspective in my vision of Truth. I know now His purpose, and only as I look away, and not too closely at the present, am I able to move on at all. "We look not at things seen." I must see them all in their logical purpose, but not park on anything too transitory.
We are all made to follow a vision of some sort, or pattern. All life and activity is due to motivation toward some desired end or purpose. What is our vision; or for what are we living? "Where there is no vision (no restraining power in life), the people cast off restraint." {Prov. 29:18)

John Follette (1883 - 1966)
Follette was a gifted Bible teacher and author, who had both perspective and spiritual depth in his interpretation of the Word. He was an illuminated spirit in the field of spiritual reality, and had an unusual ability to impart “spirit and life” into those who sat under his ministry.He received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit in 1913 while a student at a Bible School in Rochester, New York, and later became a teacher there until the school closed. He also taught for many years at Southern California Bible College. During the later years of his life, he was called into a wider field, ministering in conferences and retreats which took him around the world. He passed into his eternal reward in 1966 at the age of 82.
