Message: Trying to see ahead, what does God want for me?
Text: Romans 8:29
Have you ever noticed that when asked a question, Jesus often answers with a question? He rarely answers directly. Things haven’t changed much.
What do you need to do, what do you need to be, what do you need to change for you to be more like Jesus…what will that look like? When you see that, you will see other things more clearly, not the other way around. Don’t concentrate on what God needs to show you, concentrate on what you need to show God.
Examples:
~How long did Moses spend with God on Mt Sinai in order to write The Ten Commandments and other parts of the law? How long does it take you to read that law that Moses wrote?
~Donald Miller, "I am that cordless screwdriver that has to charge for twenty hours to earn ten minutes use."
