Step Back Today and Position Yourself In His Grace

What we see of God's provisions teaches us to trust Him for what we cannot see of His purposes. The late pastor and theologian A.W. Tozer wrote, "Sometimes when we get overwhelm we forget how big God is." Jesus encourages us to step back from worries and fears. Step back and Pray. Consider His Word. Remember His power, provision and plan. Sometimes it best to react with no reaction. Move beyond self-led reactions to Spirit-led responses. Our perspective changes in God's presence. We gain clarity and peace when we adapt God's perspective instead of our own. His sight is pure, full of grace and eternal-while our sight is often imperfect, narrowed and worried about the now. David stepped back in awe of God's love. "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?" (Psalm 8: 3-4)
When we consider the ways that God has provided in the past, it helps us to trust Him in the present. Step back today and position yourself in His grace.
