Counting God's Faithfulness
New Season Kicks Off with a summer recap and a look forward How do we count God's faithfulness in the hard seasons? Lessons learned: Grief and sorrow are not weakness Ask God for what you need Hebrews 4:16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Remember His faithfulness Exodus 34:6 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, 2 Timothy 2:13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself. My faith does not change the faithfulness of God TRUST–peace in the trust Isaiah 26:3: You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you CONTROL–my lack of control and God’s total control Proverbs 19:21: Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. God’s Perfect Timing Moving things out of the way to make way for His purposes Isaiah 43:18-19: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” James 1:2-4 Psalm 37:3
