Introduction
I want to ask you a question this morning. If God stripped everything from you. Your job, your wife or husband, your kids, your finances, your schooling, your home, your ministry. Would His Grace be sufficient enough for you. (Explain Your answer).
I think that when it comes down to reality and we are stripped from everything we would have a difficult time saying Your Grace is sufficient for me because we lack the intimcy. with the Lord.
How well would you say you know God?
A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.
You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me.
Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;
they will go down to the depths of the earth.
They will be given over to the sword
and become food for jackals.
But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God will glory in him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
I think a common mistake that much of the church makes today, especially seen in western culture, is that they know about God but they don’t really know God.
You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
(Give examples of me knowing my wife)
