He’s a provider. He’s a protector. He’s a role model. He’s a shoulder to cry on. He’s an ear to listen. He’s a confidante. He’s a counselor. He’s a companion. Who is he? He’s a Father. And to all the men filling those roles in the lives of others, Happy Father’s Day!!
It is frustrating to take on a task only to discover that your efforts haven’t achieved the desired results. In today’s passage the Psalmist writs about the futility of putting our hands to things that are done through human reliance rather than Divine providence.
You ever wonder what God thinks about the need some have to lift themselves above others? Well wonder no more. The answer is in today’s message with Dr. Tony Hart. We’re in John chapter 3.
The Bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith in God is one of the most crucial disciplines for the believer today. Faith is the conviction of the things we hope for. Faith is the vehicle by which we are saved. It is what allows us to see the unseen. Faith is what gives us the ability to keep going when everything around us tells us to quit. Faith is what motivated the saints of old to acts of love and obedience. Moses… Joshua, Enoch, Abel, Noah, Rahab, Sara and countless others. Our greatest power comes from God.
Preparation time is never wasted time. Whatever it is that we set out to do, the time we spend preparing for it is time well spent. As Christians we have a high calling and a mission that is a matter of life and death. Ours is an awesome responsibility and God gives us what we need from start to finish.
