 I want us to see the story of this Particle Son, and I want us to see us on every day, on every day life and every time everywhere we go that we We see ourselves the way God sees us We must see ourselves the way God sees us because otherwise we can't go further with God. We can't grow with him. Amen. I Want you to see Why We have to see ourselves this way in the story of Moses and When he was with when he is with Israel There are no wilderness wilderness and Israel Israelites and Jews. They're just They're whining. They're complaining. They're sinning. They're doing everything that God told them not to do and they just They're just like a rebel child, you know anything you tell them not to do they'll for sure do it And that's what Israelites are doing So God sent they just got fed up God just got fed up with them He sent the snakes snakes begin to bite them and they begin to die And so Moses goes to God and he says God, please spare him. Please forgive him God has mercy on them in his it gives Moses. He gives him Gives him instruction says you make a snake Build a snake put it on a stick and he says anybody that's gonna look to that snake They will be made well And so and so it happened that everybody that begin to look at that snake Anybody who was bitten by a snake and begin to look that that's a snake that Moses made everybody They they begin to make become well and those that did not look they died And sometimes I think in our lives is that when we begin to focus ourself focus on our Mistakes when we begin to focus on our shortcomings when we begin to focus on what we've done We've left undone or we did not do or things that we shouldn't do that we do that we did That we become quickly bitter and we quickly began Fall short of God's grace so instead of focusing So if you focus on a bite you will be bitter But if you focus on the cross you will get better if we will focus on what God has done Who he called us to be that what God has done in our lives who he calls us to be? Then we will become better because focusing on our mistakes Will not get us better Focusing on your shortcomings will not gonna get you further focusing on On the characters flaws that you have will not get you further it'll get you more depressed and will get you Deeper into your paid self-paid party and it just it's not gonna get you anywhere But lifting your eyes to the cross lifting your eyes to Jesus Accepting who God calls us to be will get us out and we'll get us into a better place Bible says the righteous fall seven times. He gets up funny thing is that God Doesn't call a righteous that fell a sinner Bible still calls him a righteous person why because he's quick to get up We are righteous not because we don't fall. We are righteous because we're we get up Because we choose to put our faith put our hope in Jesus Christ in the cross of Jesus Christ We choose to to accept that God sees us faultless and holy and we get up quickly and keep going and God Calls that righteousness Not righteousness because we fall or we don't fall but because we fall and we quickly get up Amen
