Your View Matters

Point of view matters in lots of things: watching out for the safety of a child, a look at our hair, pulling into traffic, identifying someone. Yes, in most cases the view is critical to the accuracy of what we see! In his book, Knowledge of the Holy, A. W. Tozer makes this statement: "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." As Mister Bill and I have begun the reading of Genesis, it's indeed a wonder that something could come into being from nothing yet that's exactly what God said happened. In our world, that's otherwise impossible: we make biscuits from flour, we assemble cars from manufactured parts, we write from established letters and vocabulary ... something from something else. Hear God's words when He spoke of Himself to Job: "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding." (Job 38:4 NASB). Dare we bring into question The One Who brings existence from nothingness! It is nothing except God-given faith when we embrace a high view of God and trust Him even with the barest of creation as described in Genesis 1. Does our view of God matter? Well, yes it does! If our view of Him is so low, why would we trust Him with the important and critical things of our lives! I suggest there's no such thing as partial trust - trust is trust! Throughout Scripture, God is ever revealing who He is and bringing small faith into mighty faith. What's your view of God - small or big. Your view matters!
