S: Matthew 16:23 "Jesus turned to Peter and said, "Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God's."
O: Jesus was displaying his ability to see spiritually. Satan was trying to speak through Peter and set a "dangerous trap" by seeing things from a horizontal view (man's) and not vertical (God's).
A: I have thought a great deal about horizontal and vertical perspectives before, however never through the lens that Satan is setting a dangerous trap for me. I must see the danger of Satan and his attempts to set traps through the horizontal perspective.
P: Jesus, help me today to see things vertically. My sins and my challenges, my obedience and my routines through the vertical and God centered way. IJN, Amen
