Sunday Morning Series - Victory for Doubters - Don't Lose Sight of His Will



Text: Various


When I am lead to believe that evil things in my life are the will of God for me, the seeds of bitterness toward God are likely growing.


We know that God's Word and His will are the same. God's call for your life and His will are the same.


God called Abraham to be the father of many nations. Yet, Abraham's situation was anything but blessed. His wife was barren, and this was a source of great sorrow.


When God speaks to Abraham in Genesis 15:1-7, Abraham tells God that He hasn't given him any offspring. In effect, he's saying that God is the cause of his problems. His eyes are so fixed on the situation that he loses sight of the promise.


The circumstances around you are noisy, but you can shut them out. If a guy is watching a football game, he can hyper-focus on it and block out any other sound. His wife could be calling him for dinner, the telephone ringing, and the dog barking, but he's totally absorbed in that game. We can do the same thing with the things in our lives that don't match up to the promises of God.


Just because you have a long-standing problem or condition doesn't mean you should accept it as God's will. Jesus said He came to do the will of the Father. So, when we see Him healing the sick, freeing those in bondage, and proclaiming liberty to the captives, we know those things are God's will.
