Habakkuk – Cling to the Lord

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010


June 3, 2010

Our God is a righteous one who has great things laid out for us. Our job is to look to him, no cling to him, in all situations that arise in our lives. A great example of this truth is the prophet Habakkuk who, despite the dire situation Judah found themselves in through their own doings, repeatedly asked the Lord to spare them. In the most dire circumstances we should still rejoice in the Lord knowing that God will come through for us.

Able Ministers

Thursday, May 13th, 2010


May 13th, 2010

It is God that makes us able ministers, not ourselves. Knowing this takes away what would seem to be our overwhelming personal criticisms and flaws. When we give God our heart along with our “everything” including our flaws, he then imbues us with ability and is able to teach and mature us. We see that there were many great people of God who held their own self doubts at times but God’s love, compassion, and infinite ability was more then enough to overcome the walls of their own seeming limitations; that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Verses:
II Corinthians 3:2-6
II Corinthians 4:5-7
Exodus 4:1-15
Judges 6:11-16
II Timothy 3:14-17
Ephesians 6:10-19
Hebrews 4:14-16
II Timothy 4:16-18

God’s Majority

Thursday, January 28th, 2010


January 28, 2010

When we look at our problems we tend to see numbers; the number of people against us, the number of dollars we don’t have, the number of problems facing us. We don’t see a solution because we are only one in and of ourselves. God, on the other hand, can do above and beyond all we can ask or think. When we choose God we become more than conquerors. Our reality is that through Christ we are triumphant in all situations. Between you and God you constitute a majority; you are more than any number.

Verses:
II Kings 6:8-23
Leviticus 26:1-8
Psalm 91:1-7
II Corinthians 4:1-18
