A taste of something new. (Matthew 16:21-28)

A human point of view verses GOD'S point of view. The two are different, clearly, after all we see it in how YESHUA acts as apposed to how we do, how the disciples do. And I mean it makes sense, Isaiah 55 as such, not only does it say that, As above heaven is from earth is how far above HIS way is from our own. It also invites the very shift that The Word-Made-Flesh is speaking on in this moment to Peter.

See for yourself what I mean.

Invitation to the Thirsty
55 “Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
2 Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and you will delight in the richest of fare.
3 Give ear and come to me;
listen, that you may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David.
4 See, I have made him a witness to the peoples,
a ruler and commander of the peoples.
5 Surely you will summon nations you know not,
and nations you do not know will come running to you,
because of the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor.”

6 Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
12 You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,
for an everlasting sign,
that will endure forever.”

When in an active relationship, verses 12 and 13 become a very real, very active, thing in life. So the choice of who's path is there. Do we wish for HIS point of view or do we wish to tell GOD how to do HIS job and miss out on everything HE is doing, just because it might look a little different.

On this Thanksgiving Day, will you choose to live with a perspective of Love that gives up its life and in turn find it, or complain that there isn't meat when living off the bread of heaven. [Cause it's the same behaviour then with Torah as it is with Peter in this verse as it is with so many now.] We don't have to keep repeating it though. So let's not and say we lived the love we are shown!
