Positive Thoughts-Seeing ourselves as God sees us.

Positive Thoughts-Seeing ourselves as God sees us.

Understanding how God sees us and how He values us can help us see the truth about ourselves.Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart. Success is falling 6 times, but getting up 7 times. To forgive and not to forget is like burying the hatchet with the handle sticking out

What is man that you are mindful of him,ย and the son of man that you visit him? For you have made him a little lower than the angels,ย and you have crowned him with glory and honor. Psalms 8:4-5
How precious to me are your thoughts, God! ย ย How vast is the sum of them! ย Were I to count them,ย they would outnumber the grains of sandโ€” when I awake, I am still with you. Psalms 139:17-18

Conventional wisdom questions how much can be accomplished with little. We tend to believe that a lot more can be done if we have large financial resources, talented manpower, and innovative ideas. But these things donโ€™t matter to God. Consider just a couple of examples:

In Judges 3:31, a relatively unknown man named Shamgar delivered Israel from the Philistines single-handedly. How? He won a great victory by killing 600 Philistines with nothing more than an oxgoad (a stick sharpened on one end to drive slow-moving animals).

In Exodus, when God asked Moses to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt, Moses was afraid the people wouldnโ€™t listen to him or follow him. So God said, โ€œWhat is that in your hand?โ€ (4:2). Moses replied, โ€œA rod.โ€ God went on to use that rod in Mosesโ€™ hand to convince the people to follow him, to turn the Nile River into blood, to bring great plagues on Egypt, to part the Red Sea, and to perform miracles in the wilderness.

Mosesโ€™ rod and Shamgarโ€™s oxgoad, when dedicated to God, became mighty tools. This helps us see that God can use what little we have, when surrendered to Him, to do great things. God is not looking for people with great abilities, but for those who are dedicated to following and obeying Him.

 

 

If you use what little you may have
To serve the Lord with all your heart
You will find that He can do great things
When you begin to do your part. โ€”Sper

Little is much when God is in it.
