Things to remember when walking with God gets hard
That rock was powered by trust!
David didn’t know for *certain* what God would do with that rock, he just knew he was supposed to throw it!
1 Samuel 17:40-
When you’re facing something difficult, is it “throw-rocks-at-a-giant-champion” difficult?
If not, you can do.
If it is, YOU CAN STILL DO IT!
1) God has already delivered you from the corruption and emptiness of the world!
Why are you serving God in the first place?
Are you serving God because it’s easy?
Or because you’ve tasted what’s out there, and know how empty it is?
Hebrews 11:
2) The Christian walk is made of lots of situations that require trusting God.
If that’s too much for you, you’re free to go back to the corruption and emptiness of the World!
Life is this way because of time!
Look at how much God values *waiting* on Him! Trust and waiting won’t even be possible in eternity.
You have this unique opportunity now, to show God He has earned your trust!
Look at how much God values trusting Him!
Philippians 2:
3) When was it easy?
Walking with God was never not hard!
Nothing about serving God makes sense, is easy,
We’re asked to give up fun sin.
We’re asked to meet together regularly.
Who does that?
We’re asked to give! We’re asked to change our vocabulary.
We’re asked to love our enemies, EVEN THOSE WHO SPITEFULLY USE US!!!!
Outsiders could mock pretty much every aspect of walking with God
Why is this situation you’re in different?
You trusted Him when you did all those things.
Is he going to fail you now?
4) If it’s from God, others WILL try to discourage you.
Far from meaning you should quit, let this ENCOURAGE you!
In fact, if what God is asking you to do makes sense to other, you should question if it’s actually God!
God has already delivered you from the corruption and emptiness of the world!
They’ll start out discouraging you, but they’ll end up admiring you, inspired by you.
Just like you’re inspired by the people who trusted God before you!
Are you serving God because it’s easy?
Or because you’ve tasted what’s out there, and know how empty it is?
5) God orchestrated everything throughout all of history that led you to here.
It’s easy to forget the people of faith who have come before us.
We wouldn’t even have church, or the Bible, if it wasn’t for them.
If He’s orchestrated everything that led you here, can He work things out for you?
Does His Word promise us that He will?
He has earned your trust!
6) All we’ll ever have, is rocks.
If that’s too much for you, you’re free to go back to the corruption and emptiness of the World!
6) All we’ll ever have, is rocks.
What if David had said, “I could be better trained than I am.”?
If you’re waiting for something more, you’ll be waiting forever.
You’re not gonna be okay ‘cause you’re ready.
You’re gonna be okay because God’s gonna take care of it.
Our weapons will never look like much.
They’re spiritual, but that doesn’t make them less powerful.
They’re mighty in God!
7) You only need to know one thing about your situation: Does God want you to do it or not.
HE HAS EARNED YOUR TRUST!!!
Stop doubting!
Stop second-guessing!
Stop being double-minded!
Whatever you’re facing, He faced more for you!
Whatever lies or doubts are in your head, He faced greater ones!
Whatever mockery or persecution you’re hearing, He was beaten and tortured!
Remember what He’s done!
Remember all those who came before you!
He designed your body, and all its complexities.
He created the universe and finely tuned it to support life!
He sent His Son to deliver you from the corruption WE brought on ourselves!!!
He will never fail!
He’s worthy of your trust!
He’s worthy of your trust!
He’s worthy of your trust!
Pray like He’s worthy!
Give like He’s worthy!
Obey like He’s worthy!!!
