God's perspective

"He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."  -1John 4:8

Wisdom is not gained by seeing the works of God.  It is gained in knowing the ways of God.  When the Israelites were wandering in the desert, they could only see the works of God.  But, God allowed Moses to see His ways.  The Israelites were infatuated with God at first.  But when troubles came, their love affair with God quickly died out.  They began to murmur and complain.

However, Moses saw the wilderness from God's perspective and approached God in humility and honor.  As a result, God taught him to lead His people out of darkness into light.  Have you learned to see life from His point of view?  Or are you still trusting in your view of life to get you through the hard times?

Do you know the ways of God or just the works of God?  Bow before God and ask Him to ignite a vision for His glory, a bold desire to lead the lost to Him, and an unconditional passion to love Him.
