Apr 25, 2020 · Psalm 103:7 says, “He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel” (NIV). The people of Israel saw what God did—the opening of the Red Sea, the manna, the miracles with water, and more. But God let Moses understand the “why” behind what he did. He gave Moses his perspective.
Oct 1, 2018 · To help you do this, here are five keys to a godly perspective. Remember that…. God is Good (Psalm 84:11) Life is Hard (John 16:33) God is Sovereign (Romans 8:28) God is All-Wise (Romans 11:33-36) God is All-Powerful (Jeremiah 32:17) Over the years, I’ve slowly and quietly reviewed the five pillars.

God is continually teaching me to see with new eyes. The prophet Isaiah (in ch. 6) tells us that rebellious people have ears that can’t hear, eyes that can’t see, and hearts that can’t understand. Being naturally rebellious myself, I pray with the Psalmist that God would “open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your law” (Ps. 119:18).1In Ephesi...
I’m glad it’s not only me—I was beginning to get a complex. The more pastors I talk to, the more I realize that the struggle to develop a proper perspective on “Biblical preaching” is all too common. It was Sunday morning, and I had just delivered what I was sure was a Biblically solid, captivating, funny, life changing message (aren’t all our serm...
To the encouragement (and sometimes the irritation) of our fellow believers, we often quote or paraphrase Romans 8:28: “God causes everything to work together for good.” We know that a close look at the text does not support naïve optimism, but the idea that God can bring good out of the worst of circumstances is an important truth. Isaiah 55 point...
All scripture quoted is from the New Living Translation.Doug Enns, “Why I Do What I Do,” Direction32 (Fall 2003), 227.Rob Bell, Velvet Elvis(Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2005), 54.When we see life as God does, we’ll have the assurance that “ for those who love God all things work together for good (Rom. 8:28).”.

- God’s ways and thoughts are different from ours. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV).
- God is perfect, but life is not. God’s world is not fictional, and His characters are flawed. In the beginning, He did create a good, perfect world and environment (Genesis 1:1, 31).
- God’s love supersedes everything. An omniscient God knew from the beginning what it would take to help us see even a glimmer of His perspective. Before He created the world and everyone in it, He had formed a plan.
- God’s perspective is eternal. Does God explain why bad things happen to even good people? “Noone is good–except God alone” (Mark 10:18 NIV). Those were Jesus’ own words.
God sees His entire creation in its place in the universe: His perspective is unbounded by time or place. But God also has a much closer perspective on individual lives. He knows our circumstances, trials and failings. He longs to have a relationship with us that we might know Him. 3.

Oct 23, 2024 · Now let’s look at two seemingly unrelated statements Jesus made about what it takes to enter God’s Kingdom. In Matt. 18:3 He said, “Unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”.
