Every one of us will be tempted to go astray is some way today. Jesus understands and he offers help. His help is amazing.

It is easy to debate various aspects of Scriptural Revelation, brilliant minds have had major disagreements regarding the interpretation of scripture, and Biblical doctrine. But one thing is is difficult to debate is that God loves us and that he wants us to love "one another". That is pretty straight forward. If we do have questions about how to love, there are at least 35 direct commands given in scripture about how we are to treat "one another" well.

Forgiveness is one of them, "forgive one another". Jesus makes forgiveness a part of this teaching on prayer, and it is the one part of the prayer that he actually included a footnote for emphasis.

Jesus makes it clear that food for our physical body is secondary to feeding our spiritual lives on the Word of God. This episode has a few thoughts on how Jesus teaches us to walk in the tension of a physical body that demands to eat and a spiritual life that desperately needs God.

God's will, sometimes is about when and where we should be doing things and there can be some mystery involved is knowing what His will is.

More often than not His will is about living my life right here, right now in OEDIENCE to what I know I should be doing.

When we pray, Jesus is teaching us that it is a time to bring ourselves into alignment and agreement with what God has revealed. If God has spoken it, we know without doubt it is heaven's way. Heaven's way and our way, heaven's way the world's way are almost always in conflict with each other, That makes this purposeful act of aligning ourselves with God, with heaven necessary all of the time.

When Jesus teaches us to pray, I believe he gives us a way of taking the conversation from the closet to the stuff of everyday life. Conversing with God is a privilege we can engage in, in the car, on a phone call, in the middle of an argument or disagreement. It centers us in "the One" who has the wisdom, the strength and ability to help us whatever the circumstance.

Today's episode offers a simple way of coming to God and embracing his kingdom in any aspect of our lives. There are many ways to do this and if we truly want the Kingdom of God to come into our daily lives, we will find one that works for us.

We all have a perspective on everything. The interesting thing is that our perspectives like fingerprints can have similarities, but each is unique. Our perspectives on God and Scripture are very unique to the point that they can have very few similarities.

I try to base my perspectives on God as he is revealed in the Bible, but I will acknowledge, that they have been influenced by many people, a myriad of external sources and by my own disposition all of which are skewed by sin.

This episode talks about this dynamic reality in my life, and it addresses that fact that while I do have perspective/s, understanding/s I cannot lean on them because they are partial and shaped by alot of imperfect stuff. So what do I lean on? How do I stay upright?
