Through His Eyes

Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.Rom.12:2 (MSG) Then you can see things through His eyes.

Live for Jesus Now & Now & Now & Now

"When you dream, you look to a moment still to come. Yet the only moment that you must take responsibility for right now is the one in front of you. This is your moment. Your challenge is not seizing divine moments, but seizing your divine moment. The biblical imagery for a moment is the wink of an eye. In other words, don't blink or you'll miss it."
Seizing Your Divine Moment, Erwin Raphael McManus pg. 10

What a great quote from the brilliant Pastor Erwin. I was talking to a young man last night who was thinking he had to get his life in order or be in a certain place before he could start living for Jesus. The devil is very tricky. He does not want you to know that if you start living for Jesus first, then you will become who you are supposed to be.

Jesus said, "First wash the inside of the cup, and then the outside will become clean, too." Matt. 23:26 NLT

Seize this moment.

Great reminder that I should get myself some more books by McManus. I've only read his book The Barbarian Way and would like to read something a bit deeper from him. He's a great thinker.
