Relying on God

I am currently working on and organising a sermon for tomorrow on the topic of "Relying on God".

It is an encouraging and convicting preparation time.

According to the wonderful cliche, "Practice what you preach", I am always looking at how I can serve God better and live for him better and not just tell others what they should do. From this sermon preparation, God is revealing to me quite a few things. Below are some of them:

  • Everything is so good and everything works out so well when we rely on God when doing things, so why don't I want to rely on Him all the time? (John 15:5)

  • Why is it that we lose such a passion that we have to live for God when we first become believers? (2 Cor 5:17)

  • If we can live such a better life by relying on God in everything, why is it so hard to give Him that control? (Phil 2:21,Proverbs 3:5-6)
  • What great things could God do with our lives if we only let Him? (Who knows!!)
We really need to make sure that we are making our lives count for Him and Eternity.

I trust that these thoughts may touch your hearts and draw you closer to God.
