The Big Idea:
My prayer is that your faith in God will be so strong that you will continue to trust God, even when he says no. I’m praying that you will hold onto God, even when you don’t understand. I’m praying you’ll be able to say along with Job, “God is faithful, and though He slay me, I will still trust in Him.
Main Points:
1. Every person listening to this podcast has struggled with the sovereignty of God. This is where we exercise our faith. Either we come to the place where we believe God is good, or we don’t.
2. Sometimes God says no because He can see what you cannot see. God has a bigger perspective. God sees the whole picture of your life: your past, your present, and your future.
3. If you have experienced a “no” answer from God, affirm your belief that He has a purpose behind everything He does, even when he says "no" to your prayer. Let this be a time of putting your trust in His sovereignty and care.
Today’s Scripture Verse:
Isaiah 55:8-9 says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Hebrews 4:13 - “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”
1 Peter 1:6-7 NLT - “There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.”
