Why should we be concerned about our worldview? Whether we have ever stopped to think seriously about it, our worldview quietly influences virtually every decision we make. If God is not a part of our worldview, that absence profoundly affects our choices in life's purposes, morality, time management, relationships, finances, and work. This illustrates how a single factor within our worldview significantly impacts the influence we receive as we consider life's choices daily. Everyone has their own worldview, shaped by personal life experiences, conclusions, and their effects, making each perspective slightly different. A worldview is the particular lens through which we tend to understand and see everything, encompassing the total sum of our experiences, beliefs, values, and feelings. It guides how we perceive and interpret life's events within the framework of our past. A worldview is not a constant; it shifts, especially if one is growing in truth and understanding or, conversely, degenerating. It contains our values, often becoming mere assumptions that automatically influence us without conscious thought. These assumptions reflect the relative value we place on what we believe, guiding our judgments on what is important or worthless. Thus, our worldview is exceedingly important, providing guidance for virtually every action in life, working automatically to influence choices at all times. One's worldview can be deliberately shaped by anyone who makes the effort, though most allow it to be shaped by chance rather than deliberate choices. A worldview given by God Himself can be altered for evil, as seen with Adam and Eve, despite its divine source. Their desires, aided by the serpent's lies, motivated them to override the worldview God provided. This teaches that all of life must be rooted and nourished by a relationship with God, and we must practice submitting to the worldview He gave. Even a directly God-given worldview must be believed and used, or it will not influence in the right manner and direction, as worldviews are subject to change, sometimes almost on a whim.

A person's worldview, their point of view or perspective, fundamentally shapes their character and determines how they govern or manage their life. This perspective influences the manner in which authority and responsibility are administered at any level, whether high or low. Life's choices often teeter between two contrasting perspectives: one aligned with God's outgoing love toward Him, His kingdom, fellow man, and oneself, and the other driven by a self-centered human nature. God expects us to use His worldview to govern our lives within the framework of our surroundings, a task that is challenging enough for anyone. This world is in chaos because individuals largely do what seems right in their own eyes, mixing good and evil. God is solving this mess by motivating His children to manage their own lives rightly from His point of view, not over others, but over themselves. Right governance, no matter the scale, is achieved when each person voluntarily, by faith, manages themselves according to God's perspective.

Christians must avoid the trap of self-centered historical and cultural myopia that skews perspective, viewing current events as far worse than past ones simply because they are personally experienced. God Himself holds a perfect perspective, inhabiting eternity as the High and Lofty One, and we are called to broaden our view of life and history to align more closely with His. He instructs us to observe the past keenly, learning from historical figures and events, as seen in His command to the righteous to look to Abraham and Sarah for inspiration and understanding. A working familiarity with history enables us to make accurate comparisons between our times and those before, placing news and events in wider contexts. This broader worldview prevents overreactions and helps us recognize sensationalism for what it is, allowing us to maintain composure amidst chaos.
