Human view

I want to see things from God's view, not merely from a human point of view. We humans think that we see everything and understand our world. But there is a spiritual world that is more real than this one that we can touch. God has big plans for our lives that take faith to see. We can't just figure out things by worldly thoughts. If we ask God to show us different ways of doing things and allow Him to take charge, we can accomplish greater things. God can teach us to dream bigger than the world teaches.

Jesus told Peter "You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God's."
Mark 8:33

This happened when Jesus was telling the people that He must suffer and be killed, then in 3 days rise from the dead. Peter didn't want Jesus saying these things. This is when Jesus told Peter that God has different plans that sometimes we don't understand. I want to walk so closely to Jesus that when things come up in my life that I don't understand, I can be comforted in the fact that God is in control.
