DISCLAIMER: NON DEER HUNTER
SELF INDUCED SUFFERINGS
Genesis 9:3 (ESV)
3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.
TOUGH, COLD EARLY MORNINGS, LONG HIKES, NO DEER, LOTS OF PEOPLE
Called to Persevere
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,
MISSED A WALL HANGER!!!

that night......I WAS QUESTIONING GOD’S TIMING
CALLED TO TRUST GOD’S TIMING
Proverbs 3:5–6 (ESV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 16:9 (ESV)
9 The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
NEXT MORNING BELIEVING, HOPING, COULD HAPPEN, GOOD CROSSING, ANOTHER ONE MAYBE BETTER!!
Called to Pray in Faith
6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
1 John 5:14 (ESV)
14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
22 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
JESUS SHOWS US WHAT PRAYING IN FAITH ACCORDING TO GOD’S WILL LOOKS LIKE
THE LORDS PRAYER: OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN
The greatest example of praying with faith in all of Scripture is in the Garden of Gethsemane when our Lord
36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
I WAS REMINDING MYSELF AND GOD!! WHO HE WAS!!!!
Called to Remember and Remind Ourselves WHO God is!!!
HE’S IN CONTROL
28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING…SO ARE HIS BLESSING
Lamentations 3:22–23 (ESV)
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
2ND AND 3RD CHANCES
8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
