Do You See You Vertically? | Psalm 106

Most dysfunctions and problems in life stem from only seeing yourself from an horizontal point of view. What others think of you and say to you has way too much say in how you see yourself. Define your identity. But you can’t live the bigger and better story without finding your identity from the vertical perspective of God. That’s the subject of this episode. We are setting up a base camp here in Psalm 106 for a little while because it touches on a lot of really crucial issues if we want to walk with God. If we want to live the bigger life. Live into the better story. There are three things you have to believe if you want to walk with God: 1. That God’s word/promises are true.  2. That he loves you specifically with an abundant infinite steadfast love.  3. And that his will for you ultimately is your good. Your only good. Your better story.  These three reasons are why you can trust him completely. (Like this podcast? Leave us a rating so others can find it more easily.
