DAVID’S BATTLE . . . JUST LIKE OUR OWN !!
WHY REMIND BELIEVERS TO LOVE GOD ?
1. I PUT MY TRUST IN GOD. SO, HELP ME ! V.1, 14.
FOR DELIVERANCE ! PS. 97:10, PS. 34:17, PS. 34:7.
2. I COMMIT MY SPIRIT. V. 5. IS THIS ENOUGH ? NO !
GOD WANTS TOTAL COMMITMENT. I THES. 5:23.
ACTIONS: JOHN 3:16. LUKE 6:31-35.
3. I TRUST IN THE LORD: WHAT ARE THE RESULTS ? V. 6.
CAN THIS TRUST BE PARTIAL ? INCOMPLETE ?
YES. WHEN WE HOLD ONTO ANY PART OF OUR WILL.
SELF-WILL HINDERS GODLY ACTIONS. JAMES 2:14.
RESULTS CAN BE PAINFUL. ACTS 19:16.
THIS. BUT, IS IT ENOUGH TO WIN THE BATTLE ?
—MUST BE DOING WHAT THE WORD SAYS. JAMES 1:23.
—IT TAKES BIBLICAL FAITH. I JOHN 5:4.
THUS INDICATING THE TROUBLE WAS HIS FAULT.
ADAM & EVE. GENESIS 3:21.
JOHN THE BAPTIST. LUKE 3:7.
OFFER TO SIMON. ACTS 8:22.
6. I HEAR WHAT OTHERS SAY. V. 13.
USE IT TO BRING YOU TO GREATER FAITH IN THE LORD.
—SEEING THAT THE BIBLE PROPHESIED THIS.
MATT. 5:11, LUKE 6:26, I THES. 5:3, **2 PET. 2:8.
CONCLUSIONS, TOO, IF I FAIL TO SEEK GOD’S WISDOM.
SHOULD BE SAYING. PS. 107:2, MATT. 10:27. MATT. 10:32.
—IT SHOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE ! JOHN 10:27.
DO WHAT WE WANT ? JOHN 9:31, I JOHN 5:14.
HOW TO PRAY ? AM I STILL PRAYING IMMATURELY ?
FREE-WILL TO REJECT GOD’S WILL INTO ACCOUNT ?
EXPECT TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT GOD DOES ?
I SAM. 16:7, DAN. 12:4.
8. I HAVE SAID THINGS IN HASTE THAT WERE WRONG. V. 22.
*BUT THE LORD HEARD HIM. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE ?
IF A PERSON SINS, HOW CAN THEY BE HEARD ? JOHN 9:31.
WAS HEARD, NOT A RESPONSE. I JOHN 3:20.
A. I HAVE SAID THINGS TO THE LORD IN HASTE.
—REACTING INSTEAD OF THINKING. MARK 9:6.
C. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MYSELF IN HASTE.
—CAN CONVINCE MYSELF IN FAITH NOT OF GOD.
9. DAVID’S CONCLUSION. V. 23.
A. CAME FROM HIS PLEA FOR HELP.
WHY SHOULD GOD HELP US ?
—BECAUSE WE OBEY HIS WORD. PS. 119:173.
—BECAUSE HE IS MERCIFUL. PS. 109:26, HEB. 4:16.
B. CAME FROM HIS PAST EXPERIENCE WITH THE LORD.
—PS. 116:6, PS. 118:13, GEN. 30:27 (LABAN).
WILL LEARN FROM THEM. ROMANS 5:3-5.
10. ALL GOD’S PEOPLE SHOULD LOVE THE LORD. V. 23.
A. BECAUSE IT IS COMMANDED. DEUT. 6:5 (MARK 12:30).
B. BECAUSE GRATITUDE SHOULD BE FORTHCOMING NATURALLY.
—FOR THE VERY FUNDAMENTAL REASON: OUR SALVATION.
C. BECAUSE MANY MISUNDERSTAND WHAT BIBLICAL LOVE IS.
—GOD PROVIDES WAYS TO TEST IT. DEUT. 13:3, I JOHN 4:20.
I JOHN 5:3, JOHN 14:15.
