How do you look at God? When you think about God, what do you think about? What characteristics about God come to your mind? How you look at God will change everything about how you live your life and how you will live before him. For example, in Matthew 25 when we read the parable of the talents, the man who received one talent and hid that talent in ground gave an explanation for why he buried his talent. He explained, “Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, so I was afraid” (Matthew 25:24-25). The one talent man proclaims that the reason he did nothing with what the master gave him was because of how he looked at his master. He saw his master as being harsh. Is this the way we think about God? Do we think about God being hard and harsh? The point I want us to think about as we start this series is to consider how we think about God.
