Trusting God

I just finished listening to a Joyce Meyer sermon on youtube. I really needed to hear this message.  Below is a summary of what I gleaned from the sermon:

  • We can't hide anything from God, He is always with us.
  • He should not have to expain all the "whys" to us.
  • Focusing on the why does not lead to contentment.  It impedes our walk with God.
  • We waste time trying to figure out the why.
  • We most trust God and His timing.
  • The Israelites took 40 years to get to the promise land because of lack of faith and questioning God.  The trip should have taken them 11 days.  We are misiing out on life by focusing on the why.
  • Instead of asking why, ask God to strengthen you for the journey and to prepare you for His will.
  • Don't spend so much time trying to figure out why isn't done that you forget the great stuff that God has planned for you.
  • Enjoy what Jesus died to give us insead of living every day miserable, confused, discontented, etc.
God Bless!!
