The author writes, "Unless we spend much time considering that God is the first and the greatest, all kinds of other things will loom large in our eyes - our problems, our temptations, our goals, our achievements, and so forth, and we are sentenced to plod through life with our eyes pinched shut - for truly we see no better than that."
1. Based off what we have learned so far, what is revealed about our view of God when other things - our problems, our temptations, our goals, our achievements, and so on - loom large in our eyes?
2. Read Deuteronomy 4:39, and beside each of the following categories, write briefly how believing the truth of this verse can help you with that area:
-Our problems
-Our temptations
-Our goals
-Our achievements

1. We cannot see the whole picture, we don't see how God is number one in our lives. And that He doesn't see us in times of need.
2. -Our problems: God knows what is in store for us, and all we have to do is trust Him, and He will get us through it.
-Our temptations: God allows Satan to tempt us and test our faith, we then just need to prove that we can learn from what He lets Satan bring our way.
-Our goals: We need to pray to God, and He (being like no other) will show us things to strive for.
-Our achievements: We must understand that we did not achieve whatever it was that we achieved on our own, but with God's help, and we should thank Him for allowing us to achieve it.
1. we feel too small for God to evr help us.
2.problems- God knows what ur going through, and he wants us to ask for his help, he will always help us in time of need.
temptations- these are to test our charcter and resistance to sin, we should always use Scripture when confronted with temptation and act on its words.
goals- keeping our eyes on God will help us succeed to our goals and accomplishments.
