From His Point of View

My pastor made a good point today in his sermon on prayer, the closer we are to God which can only be accomplished by time spent with Him in The Word and Prayer, the easier it is to see everything from his point of view. Doesn't this make sense too you? If someone describes a view we can imagine what it looks like in our minds. A picture helps, that is why Jesus spoke in parables in order to appeal to our human experiences. The Word is a series of "word" pictures. Spend enough time you begin to more closely resemble the author, "So work with fear and trembling to discover what it really means to be saved." Phillipians 2:12. My father knew that I would need a plan that would be simple to follow but would require a choice on my part. To know God's Will in my life I need to spend more time in prayer and The Word. The choice for me and for you is simple how badly do we want to see things from His viewpoint? How much time am I willing to chose to spend working my way closer? How much for you? Choices.
