On Sunday, October 25, 2020, Pastor Stuart Nice shared a message with our in-person congregation and our online members via Zoom. In our discussion this week, Pastor Stuart continues the discussion on prayer, this time focusing on making Jesus the center of our perspective by remembering the end from the beginning, recognizing that understanding comes from being in God’s presence, and when it feels like we’re losing perspective, get close to Jesus.
Psalms 73:1-3 (NIV)
Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.Psalms 73:16-17 (NIV)
When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny.Psalms 73:28 (NIV)
But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.
