Title: Are You Asking the Right Questions?
Text:
Job 37:2-7 (HCSB)
2 Just listen to His thunderous voice and the rumbling that comes from His mouth.
3 He lets it loose beneath the entire sky; His lightning to the ends of the earth.
4 Then there comes a roaring sound; God thunders with His majestic voice. He does not restrain the lightning when His ⌊rumbling⌋ voice is heard.
5 God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things that we cannot comprehend.
6 For He says to the snow, "Fall to the earth," and the torrential rains, His mighty torrential rains,
7 serve as His sign to all mankind, so that all men may know His work.
Observation:
What is the question you hear most often?
How big are my problems?
How big is my God?
Why not change the way we look at our circumstances and our challenges, and the questions we ask?
The God who speaks so loudly in nature is the same God that speaks in His Word; the Bible.
The God who made the world and every living being is the same God who is able to speak into our hearts.
The Bible says that God can speak, and the stormy sea listens to, and obeys His voice.
Mark 4:39 (HCSB)
39 He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Silence! Be still!" The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
There is great comfort available in the midst of our chaos and circumstances. We can have a peace that surpasses understanding if we will begin to listen to the voice of God.
Mark 4:40 (HCSB)
40 Then He said to them, "Why are you fearful? Do you still have no faith?"
Prayer:
Father, hallowed be Your name. Father, I am so grateful for the faith that You give Your children; the faith that enabled us to believe in Jesus, and to abide in Him.
Father, increase our faith, and give us the courage to look to You in the midst of our chaos and circumstances.
Father, I pray that You will never have to say to us, "Why are you fearful? Do you still have no faith? In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
