God's Sight for Himself

Grief Ended
The Lord has provided for Himself
Matt 6:22 The eye is the lamp of the body. — You see and search for what you love.
1 Samuel 13:14 - God loves those who obey Him.
Someone who will live by faith not fear. Someone who will care for God’s people not himself.
Mark 10:45 ESV
45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
John 15:10 ESV
10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.

The needed contrast to our perspective

Looking on the Heart
Hidden vs Character
Jeremiah 17:9–10 ESV
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? 10 “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”
Contrast between growing up - Success is finding the perfect job/wife/etc.... and now … success is finding the perfect you
Things from black Friday … Perfect holidays coming up… The world looks at everything from gender to sexual orientation to the causes you fight for to find the perfect you. Christians do it too. Saul did it too.
Our emotional fragility makes us look for outward things to find our emotional stability.
Looking for success, peace, love and the things that will give us this - EXAMPLES

Romans 8:31-39
