Derek looks at the two sides of God’s nature—His mercy and severity—which run all through the Bible. Looking at Old and New Testament Scriptures we see He is consistent: full of mercy for those who will turn to Him, but bringing judgment upon those who will not listen and obey. Which camp are you in?

In today’s study Derek shows us that God is interested in the little things as well as the large. He cares about our faithfulness in everything we do, not just the big “important” responsibilities. Until we grasp God’s infinite attention and care for the small things, we won’t really appreciate how much He cares for us.

Derek continues this week in looking at how our thinking needs to change to agree with God’s thinking. Today he looks at the priorities of God, the first being to bring heaven to earth—as exemplified in The Lord’s Prayer. The second priority is to put the eternal before the temporal. Don’t miss this solid teaching.

Today Derek presents the second objective of God to our thought life: that is, the need for excellence. Derek uses creation as his example. All that God created was counted as “good.” But when all of creation is taken as a whole, it was considered “very good,” or excellent. God wants excellence in every area. That was His standard at creation, and He’s never lowered it.

Derek looks at four main areas in our thought life that needs to change if we are to bring our ways in line with God’s ways and God’s thoughts. These four areas are: objectives, priorities, attitudes, and categories. The first objective in living should be to aim for God’s glory and His satisfaction. For all things are from Him, and through Him, and to Him.
