When Everything Fails
Everybody has a hill to walk on.
Some hills
++are shallow
++are step
Each Hill is different
Steeper Hills
++Require more effort
++May need additional resources
Life will be filled with all kinds of hills
Every Hill will require a climb
What is it that gets you to the top?
What is it that keeps a person climb?
Living in this life requires a Promise
God uses promises
His total interaction with man is base on his promises.
A Promise has a Dual Nature
A Promise declares
++A present need
++A future supply
A Promise brings hope
Hope is the foundation of what Faith is.
Lord, give me strength!
Have you ever thought that you had exhausted everything and that you had nothing more to give?
It is a cry that recognizes difficulty
a cry for help
It is the prayer God desires the most
How many times are our prayers are a celebration of us?
God is not impress
++by what we have done
++by our successes
++by our failures
++by our plans or priorities
Asks Jonah
God is not moved
++by our circumstances
++by our need
God knows all things about life.
The Promise of Strength
Strength
Strength is the inner resolve or the physical ability to accomplish an endeavor, influence an outcome, or prevail in a conflict.
Two kinds of strength
++Physical strength
++Inner resolve
Physical strength is the most common.
It deals with ability, power and authority.
Physical strength
++Positional
++Providential
Positional is the place of authority to act or exercise control over.
Providential has to do with available resources or favor including physical capacity.
Inner resolve
++Matter of faith
++Connects to purpose
True strength doesn‘t come from what is visible.
Why would she ask this question?
Maybe our image of Samson may be different
I always pictured him
++Big
++Muscular
If this was the case, it would be obvious why he was so strong.
Maybe he was less like Arnold Schwarzenegger and more like Barney Fife.
Most of the most notable people in History did not get there because of physical strength.

Physical strength can be measured
Inner strength can only be monitored
The secret of Samson’s strength
++Was not his hair
++was not his Vow
++was not connected to human activity
His strength is the activity of a Sovereign God.
God gives gift
release resources
will not share his glory with another
only what we do for Christ will last
There is nothing we can do to make God act on our behalf
there are things we can do to prevent or make ineffective his will for our life.
When or efforts fail
We have
++planted
++watered
++done all we can
++when nothing is producing
++when the affect is in conflict with the cause.
What will you do?
In spite of the circumstances
++I Will Rejoice
++The Lord is God
I will Joy in God
He recognized
++The reality of temporary things
++God is his dwelling place
The true source of our strength is God alone.
We must activate His strength
