We wrapped up our series, Grey Matter, this weekend. My husband closed it off with an excellent sermon based on Daniel in the Lion's Den (found in Daniel 6). The sermon was called, Constant Courage, Unchangeable Situations and an Unchanging God.
Instead of highlighting the main points, I think today I will just highlight some of my favorite quotes from the message...
Sometimes God puts me in an unchangeable situation so that He can do something undeniable.
If you don't decide to honor God in the light of day, your faith will never hold up in the dark of night.
No one can fix my fate if I have fixed my faith.
Faith is not an act, it's a habit.
Instead of altering God's Word according to my circumstances, I need to alter my circumstances according to God's Word.
I think my favorite part was where my husband pointed out that God does not want me to wait until I get to a dead end crisis and cry out for His help and guidance. He wants me to seek Him daily and let Him guide me each step of the way. So practical!
I hope you will take the time to listen to it and let God speak to you. You can listen(or watch) at our website, the Elevation Network and our podcast.
Have a great Monday!
Holly!!! We were in Charlotte for the weekend and were able to worship with you guys Sunday morning! It was incredible! How funny that some of the same points you made in your blog are the same ones I have written down on an index card and have on my desk at school! So, glad that you guys are doing well, your family is beautiful! We are looking forward to worshiping again on Sat. of the Easter series.
