Out of the Frying Pan...and into the Fire!
1 Kings 17:8-16
The forging of our faith involves:
God's fresh path of obedience.
This path should involve a fresh:
-
Command.
-
Challenge.
-
Comfort.
God's faithful promises amidst new obstacles.
These obstacles would cause:
-
Doubt in the widow.
-
A demand from the prophet.
-
A decision to be made.
God's fabulous provision that was anything but ordinary.
This provision was a reminder:
-
Of God's grace.
-
Of God's greatness.
-
To give God glory.
God's faith-forging principles that we must own as Christ's followers.
These involve the following:
-
God's leading is often surprising... Don't analyze it.
-
God's promises hinge on action... Get going.
-
God isn't just concerned with you... Reflect this affection for the nations.
-
God takes the little we have...and adds to it.
-
God's provisions are just enough... Appreciate them.
