Sunday, November 23, 2008 ( @ 12:00 AM ) while waiting for the pictures of cg to be uploaded... i typed out my notes for sermon since im so bored. heh XD Part 2 of GodTalk :D The Comforting Hand of God - people respond to difficulties in different ways, some get angry, some act cool (act like nothing happened to them), some are disillusioned(which means they decide to give up) - King David's story: King Saul wanted to kill him, but David always seek God and despite many attempts, David was not killed and God helped him :D please refer to [1 Samuel 18]onwards to know... [Psalms 34:4-7] 1. God listens to us (v4, 6a)- God always hear David, God always respond to David :D - [Psalms 18:6] - sometimes when we talk to friends, we wonder whether they are actually listening to us, when people don't listen to us, we don't feel good :(... we feel good when people listen to us :D - however, most people do not listen well as they get easily distracted, our minds will always wander around when people talk to us, we don't listen properly and cannot possibly absorb everything. - in the bible, there are also many instances that God reminded people to listen to Him, He knows that we need to get reminded to remember what He says :) [Revelation 2:29] - isn't it comforting to know that God listens to everyone 100% all the time? :D - God listens to our fears, doubts, anger, disappointment, and also of course our joy :D - (random part) nowadays girls want SNAGs (sensitive new age guys), but we have a SAAG (sensitive all age God!) - God will not say "Sorry child, what did you say just now? I was listening to what my angels are telling me"... because He always listen to us :D He understands us the BEST. plus, He is all time available for us :D - God has been waiting for you (whoever who is reading heheh), He wants to listen to YOUR voice (especially to those who never talk to God for a long time) 2.God protects us from shame (v5) - note: for those who walk in His ways Shame: Hapar (which means ashamed and humiliated) [Isaiah 54:4-5] [Romans 10:11] - There is great security when we live in God's ways - some worldly ppl might want to shame christians living a Godly life, so that they will feel good about themselves, but dont be ashamed :) we don't need to be afraid cos we did not do anything wrong :) - some people are struggling with shame, but God can save us from that [Isaiah 1:18] God can wipe clean your past and give you a new beginning! - Jesus already died for us on the cross to save us from all the future shame, He was humiliated by many people on the cross :( 3. God delivers us from our troubles (v6-7) - God allows some troubles/problems in our lives so that we get closer to Him :D - sometimes He allows the problem so remain in our lives so that we will be kept humble, and we can experience His grace, and also to learn something out of it - [2 Corinthians 12:7-10] - the problems will always benefit you (He will help you), only when we turn to Him. - big or mini troubles, God will help you in all - also, God can deliver us from a problem quietly or dramatically. He can speak in a small, still voice, but also can speak audibly :D - even though its mini problem, He helped us too, we must be grateful for that :D - God is a God that can deliver people from their troubles, transform people - physical sickness and emotional pain both can be healed by God :D - God is powerful, He is alot more powerful than our problems - if we think that God is weak, our life will show it that way, because we do not believe that our God is strong, thus we will not think that He can solve our problems too. however, we need to challenge ourselves to what we believe in, we need to believe that God is stronger than our problems. - What do you really believe in? your problem? your emotions? - even Sarah can conceive a child at such an old age, what problem can God nt solve? - [Genesis 18:14a] - ask yourself! is anything too hard for God? - God is not defined by our feelings, our problem, but by the Word - We need to learn to see God as He is, not as we feel, your God is a BIG God - Nothing is too big for God to handle - Also, nothing is too small for God to be interested in - God knows the exact no. of hair on our head, He cares about details, about small things, small problems - it is easier to learn to trust God in big problems if we normally trust Him when solving small problems :D - David knew that he cannot do it alone :) and keep seeking God, and God helped him everytime - do you think you can handle every of your problem by yourself? - we may not last during touch times, life is always beyond our control (eg. financial crisis now), but our God is our confidence :D - [Jeremiah 17:7-8] - Even in the midst of tough times, we'll thrive and bear fruits :D! :D szemin 0 comments |
