PERSPECTIVE


ISAIAH 42:9 (MSG)
The earlier predictions of judgment have been fulfilled.
I’m announcing the new salvation work.
Before it bursts on the scene,
I’m telling you all about it.


MATTHEW 13:7 (NLT)
I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Treasure God's perspective.

PRAYER
Lord, hearing your voice and seeing your word unfold before my eyes is the greatest treasure -- thank you! I confess that I lose your perspective on things when I allow my circumstances to become my god -- forgive me! I long to see you in all things at all times. Help me to do the same for others. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
