A Different Perspective with Berni Dymet

With life so cluttered with stuff and stuff and stuff these days - it???s easy to get the impression that not only are we too busy, but that God???s too busy to notice what???s going on in our lives. That somehow, He doesn???t see, He doesn???t care.

It???s easy to get things out of perspective. We stub our toe - and all we can think of is our sore toe - everything else goes out the window. And perspective comes when we look at the big picture - creation ??? the God who created it all.

To be honest - sometimes - our problems seem bigger than God. They just do - it???s kind of natural - they feel like they???re closer than God, and so they look much bigger than Him. That???s when we need to know how Great God really is.

Freedom, which is what we???ve been chatting about over these last couple of weeks, is a great concept. But it???s more than just a concept .

There are so many things that will rob us of our freedom. And right up there, at the top of the list, is our enemy the devil. Because he knows that if he can make your freedom evaporate, chances are, he can drag you away from Jesus.

Freedom is a great concept. But I???m not all that much into concepts, unless they make an impact for good in my life and yours. So the thing that I want to discover is how ??? how can you and I actually live the life of freedom? Really!

You know sometimes I come to the realisation that really, I???m a bit spiritually thick. Spiritually, I???m something of a slow learner. Maybe that???s why God has to take me through things over and over again, so that finally, I get it, that it???s all about His grace.

Slavery. It???s not something we think about all that much. But so many people are enslaved ??? it???s just not funny. Freedom. From where God sits, it???s not so much being able to do what you want, it???s about being set free from the things that are holding you back.

Yeah, we know about grace. We???ve heard about grace. It???s a good thing. But deep down inside, in our heart of hearts, most people harbour a sneaking suspicion that this whole God thing, surely, has to come down to following a bunch of rules, right?

Let???s face it. Grace is a difficult concept to wrap your mind around.

Worshipping God is singularly the most selfless thing that any person can do. But all too often, our view of what worship is, is limited by our experience.

There???s a description of God???s people that pops up several timed in the Bible. It???s the adjective ???stiff-necked???. An interesting way to describe the stubbornness of God???s people.
