Father God our Sovereign King

“Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.”

Psalm 115:3

“Where Am I Looking?” Beth Moore

Where I look

What I hear

What I feel

What I expect

“Where Am I Looking?” Beth Moore

Where I look

What I hear

What I feel

What I expect“If I have low expectations, skewed feelings, and impaired spiritual healing, my eyes are either looking in at myself or

out at people and circumstances.”

Looking to God

“True saints, like obedient servants, look to the Lord their God reverentially…obediently…attentively…continuously…

expectantly…singly…submissively….imploringly….”

“We need not speak in prayer; a glance of the eye will do it all.”

Charles Spurgeon

Enduring Injustice

“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of

faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of

the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow

weary and lose heart.”Hebrews 12:2-3

A Call to Persevere

“But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep

yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.”

Jude 1:20-21

Humble Yourself

“If we want to understand God, we must do it on his terms. If we want to see God the way he really is, we must look to the place of authority – to Scripture and to Jesus Christ. And

do we really want it any other way? I don’t think so. We would very soon become contemptuous of a god whom we

could figure out like a puzzle or learn to use like a tool. No, if God is worth our attention at all, he must be a God we can

look up to – a God we must look up to.”Eugene Peterson, “A Long Obedience in the Same Direction”

Becoming Smaller

“When you choose to partner with the Lord in this way, you get smaller and smaller and smaller. Things of yourself, your own agenda, your own comfort, your own ideas of what you

want to do, fade away and you become small enough to enter the Strategy Room.”

Jennifer Toledo, “The Weeping Room”

Our BIG God!

“The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and

faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their

children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”

Exodus 34:6-7
