“You Are Seeing Things

Merely

From A Human Point Of View, Not From God’s.”

Scripture

Mark 8

³³ Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples, then reprimanded Peter. “Get away from me, Satan!” he said. “You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”

Observation

As you think about life today and what is happening around you are you looking at things from a human point of view, or from God’s?

When Pastor Bruce says that we need to look at things from 30,000 feet, I think he is echoing what Jesus said to his disciples after He reprimanded Peter. Peter only saw what Jesus was saying about His death from a human perspective and not from God’s point of view.

So many things are happening around us. It seems like the world is totally out of control. Read the newspaper about today’s events and you get man’s point of view, read God’s Word in the morning and you will you be able to see things from God’s point of view.

I have to remind myself almost everyday that God is Sovereign. None of what is happening is catching Him by surprise. Our future is safe in His Hands. We are on the winning team.

Application

I will focus on what is really important today … getting ready for Sunday! How about you? 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, give me the ability to look over all the circumstances that seem to be out of control and focus on You instead. Help me to apply Proverbs 3:5-6 today, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths.”
