Good Morning!! What is your world view?...but first, what is a worldview ?
A worldview is the means by which we interpret, evaluate, and judge
reality. It is the all-encompassing lens through which we view
everything in our world. For us, believers, our worldview starts by
turning to almighty God for wisdom and understanding (Psalm 111:10).
But the earlier governors—those preceding me—placed a heavy burden on the people and took forty shekels of silver from them in addition to food and wine. Their assistants also lorded it over the people. But out of reverence for God I did not act like that. Instead, I devoted myself to the work on this wall. All my men were assembled there for the work; we did not acquire any land.—Nehemiah 5:15, 16 (NIV)

Nehemiah based all his
decisions and important actions on his relationship with God. When given
the chance to follow in the history of corrupt leadership by the
Persian governors of Judah, Nehemiah refused to use his political power
for personal or financial gain. His God-centered worldview would not allow it! "I did not do so, because of the fear of God."
A healthy "fear of the Lord "(respect for God) should always be at the center of our worldview?
" There is no reward from God, to those who seek it from men."
(OUR DAILY BREAD, quoting Charles Spurgeon)
"Obedience, always leads to abundance."
