Transcript of Life Has Its Struggles
Thank you for being here today!
Just when we least expect
it…
Life has its
struggles.
Our lives can be turned upside down.
…We can only see
the present…
The difficulty of being human…
…and what’s in the past.
…but we can’t see the future.
God can see the present…
…and He can see the past...
…but God can see the future.
…what is the most difficult part of faith?
…It’s Trust.
Finite people trusting an infinite God.
The key to having faith during difficult times is not knowing the
outcome…
…it’s trusting the One who does.
Psalm 139
…that He understands what we’re going through…
Psalm 139:1-6… O LORD, You have searched me and known me.You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is
high, I cannot attain it.
Psalm 139:7-10… Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend
into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts
of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me,and Your right hand shall hold me.
…that He is right here with us…
Psalm 139:13-16… For You formed my inward parts;You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.
…that He knows us personally…
…that He will carry us to the other side.
Psalm 139:17-18… How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.
Joshua 1:9…Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
