God's Worldview vs. Man's Worldview

God's Worldview vs. Man's Worldview

"GOD, your God, has blessed you in everything you have done. He has guarded you in your travels through this immense wilderness. For forty years now, GOD, your God, has been right here with you. You haven't lacked one thing." (Deut. 2:7)

If the way you see things does not line up with the way God sees them, you will not be able to fully walk in all He has prepared for you. God has a worldview, and His worldview is revealed in what we call the Bible.

The Bible is more than just a book—it is the outline of God’s worldview. It reveals not only how God sees the world, but also how He thinks, what He values, and what He expects from us. A worldview is the sum of your beliefs, values, and way of thinking. God’s worldview is written in Scripture, and until we begin to see as He sees, value what He values, and believe as He believes, we will not be on the same page with Him.

In our text, Moses declares that God blessed Israel in everything. Yet, when most of us read that account, we struggle to agree. They thirsted for water, complained about food, and grumbled about meat. Still, God says they lacked nothing and were blessed in everything. The truth is this: God sees your situation differently. The sooner you learn to see things His way, the better your life will align with His purpose.

This is why the Apostle Paul reminds us that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom. 10:17). In other words, we must shape our beliefs, values, and thoughts by the Word of God. Scripture defines what is right or wrong, what we can or cannot do, and what we should or should not think. It is the Word that creates God’s worldview in us.

Have a fruitful day,

Steady your heads

Steady your hands "But Moses' hands got tired. So they got a stone and set it under him. He sat on it and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on each side. So his hands remained steady until the sun went down.(Exod.17.12 MSG) Consistency and stability are two traits that we need to succeed in life. The Bible says those second guessing themselves will not receive anything from God.  "Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who "worry their prayers" are like wind-whipped waves."(Jas.1.6)  Our text illustrated this very clearly. Moses had an assignment to keep his hand raised. But as human, he became tired and his hand would come down and as that happened his people would lose the battle. So he devised a means to create consistency and stability, he rested his hands on a stone, with support from Aaron and Hur on either side supporting him.  We need this kind of support, the kind of systems an structures that will help to create stability in ...

Joshua Spoke, the People Moved

Joshua Spoke, the People Moved “And it happened. Joshua spoke, the people moved. Seven priests carrying seven ram’s-horn trumpets went out before the LORD. As they walked, they blew the trumpets, leading the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD.”  (Joshua 6:8) When Joshua gave the instruction, the people did not argue, analyze endlessly, or delay. He spoke—and they moved. That simple act of obedience set divine power in motion. History was shaped not merely by what was said, but by what was done. Actions give weight to knowledge. What we do with the truth we receive determines the outcomes we experience. Many of us know what is right, what God has said, and what steps we should take—but knowing alone does not transform a life. If we consistently acted on every truth we already knew, our lives would look very different. The real question, then, is not “What more do I need to hear?” but “What is stopping me from acting?” This text teaches us how to relate to God’s Word: Joshua spoke, ...

Birthright for sale

Birth rights for sale  "One day Jacob was cooking a stew. Esau came in from the field, starved. Esau said to Jacob, "Give me some of that red stew--I'm starved!" That's how he came to be called Edom (Red). Jacob said, "Make me a trade: my stew for your rights as the firstborn." Esau said, "I'm starving! What good is a birthright if I'm dead?" Jacob said, "First, swear to me." And he did it. On oath Esau traded away his rights as the firstborn." (Gen.25.29-33).  Life has taught us to trade what we have for what we want or need. And this is basic economics but the story of how Esau lost his birthright is a lesson we should not forget in a hurry. It tells us that we do not value what we have, until we have lose it.  Esau had his birthright and that entitles him to a double portion of the inheritance from his father. But he was willing to trade a long term advantage for a short pleasure. He wanted a quick fix over a permanen...
