THE WHEELS ON THE VAN GO ROUND AND ROUND

OR

HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD TODAY?

Acts 20:22-24

"And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.

TESTIFYING

Do you believe that God is at work in the world today?

How do we rely on Him to see Him work in our own lives?

All those that are justified, God vouchsafes, in and for His only Son Jesus Christ,

to make partakers of the grace of adoption,

by which they are taken into the number,

and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God,

have His name put upon them,

receive the spirit of adoption,

have access to the throne of grace with boldness,

are enabled to cry, Abba, Father,

are pitied, protected, provided for,

and chastened by Him as by a Father: yet never cast off,

but sealed to the day of redemption;

and inherit the promises, as heirs of everlasting salvation.

WESTMINSTER CONFESSION OF FAITH Chapter XII - Of Adoption

ProtectedProverbs 14:26 He who fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge

Provided For MT 6: 30-34If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

It has made the truth of what our Lord has done for us (and for me!) so much clearer and more real.

It was as if I were actually there with Him and He was speaking to me in person.

It was like I was hearing the Sermon on the Mount for the first time. Seeing the characters sitting around and listening to Jesus made it much more real.

PROVISION1 Peter 5:5-7Young men, in the same way be submissive

to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.“

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
