 Thoughts from the Harvest Devotion with Pastor Greg Laurie. It's interesting that we read through the Bible, we read very little about the great historical figures of the day. The great Caesars or Herods or the mighty armies of Rome are merely backdrops for the greatest story ever told. They serve as points of reference. But in reality, these people and events were secondary. Reminds us that God sees things differently from how we see them.
