Don’t Live A Selfie Life
Don’t Live A Selfie Life
7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Take a selfie with Graduates
Looking at the selfie -
you see yourself
you see what is behind you
Can you life in selfie mode? No!
Many of us try but we fail miserably!
You can not be focused on yourself and/or your past and live the life you are called to live!
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
“Looking back” is literally looks unto the things behind.
It refers here to gazing back on the things abandoned in order to follow Jesus.
Praise the Lord for what He blessed you with yesterday but do NOT live there. He has a new blessing for you today.
When you have a job, you show up on Monday and do the best work of your life. When you arrive on Tuesday do you think your supervisor will say - “You know what? You did such great work yesterday, why don’t you just sit down and really dwell on what you accomplished yesterday.”
When they interview great sport athletes after a victory, what does the athlete say?
“We are going to enjoy this tonight but tomorrow it is back to work to get that next victory.”
Faith Perspective
Faith Perspective
Now take your camera and put it in regular camera mode.
What do you see?
Where you can be and where you are going.
What changed?
Your perspective!
Nothing else changed. You didn’t even leave your seat.
This is the view the Lord wants you to have! To live the “full and abundant life” (see John 10:10) This is the view you must have!
Please show me in scripture how many times Jesus told others how good He had it in heaven before He came to earth
Jesus walked this earth with a purpose (as you and I do today), and He always stayed focused on the job ahead of Him.
Faith vs. Sight
Faith vs. Sight
Sight perspective in when you rely on yourself.
What you know, what you can see and feel.
Sight is self reliance. I can do it on my own.
Faith perspective in relying on God.
I can see you! (cover eyes)
I can’t see you but I still know that you are there! How?
Because we have a relationship, we’ve spoken, we’ve spent time together. Plus you all sit in the same pews every week.
Time to rely on God!
7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
