Our 1 Minute Takeaway: 061719
• If I Ignore God I’m Actually Choosing Problems
My notes:
– The best way to escape a problem is to solve it (Church)
– Problems are a temporary test of your resolve and faith in God.
– We choose to wallow in our circumstances or develop our character. (First 15)
‘… the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect…’ James 1:2-4
– We are to live in response to God’s love not trying to earn it
– What is our faith if it doesn’t produce action?
– What is my relationship with God if it doesn’t cause me to live differently? (First 15)
– Jesus calls us friends, his honor is at stake in my actions
– If I’d run to God for companionship & love rather than only for help with difficulties, many of the difficulties wouldn’t arise.
(O. Chambers)
– Seek God early before he is crowded out
My takeaway:
• Life is smoother if I choose friendship with God before the problems arise.
