“In Him We Live” Acts 17:27, 28a. Pastor Jim Davis

I prayed and the heavens seemed as brass. God seem cold and so indifferent.

I felt shut out and cut off from God's presence. Here's where many walk away.

We complain to God, thinking if we sort of lean on his generosity, and his squishy, mushy love, He will somehow know He needs to vindicate himself and come rushing into our desires, giving us what we think we need.

"You never know God is all you need, until God is all you have."
Rick Warren

I John 3:2 "Beloved, now are we the sons of God..."

Matt 7:13,14. "wide is the gate, and broad is the way..."

One day in history, the unmatched Savior gives up his life for me, if for no one else, and I complain, "I can't take it anymore."

Job 19:25-27 I know my redeemer lives...

I know He will answer, if it's in HIS best interest, and He's smart enough not to answer, if it's not.

Never evaluate the character of God, by the events of your life. Evaluate the events of your life by the character of God.

I pray.
God says, No.
I'm disappointed.
God knows best.
He's always right.

God, never let me accuse you of caring less for me than I do for you, when you came from the throne to the cross, while I complain, "It's hard to get up for church."
