Does God ever get tired of
helping us?
Does God ever get tired of
delivering us?
Does God ever get tired of
meeting our incessant needs
Does God ever get tired of devising
solutions for our endless problems?
We attract trouble like a powerful magnet
We multiply problems like an incurable epidemic.
Are we on a perpetual path of
self detonation
Every day we’re victims of an
identity implosion
Our external pressure badger us
Our internal pressure boggles us
Job felt unutterably wretched
as he sweltered in an ocean of
misery and drifted in a sea of
sorrow.
He cursed his very existence
and accepted that the only
reprieve was to be washed up
and rot on a forgotten shore.
Where is God?
Is He impersonal and aloof,
Is He an uncaring force,
Does He reject and tortured
all imperfections.
Or Is He personal and intrinsically
involved in each minute detail
of our daily existence.
Paul wrote:
“We are troubled on every side,
but not distressed.”
It’s not the water outside a vessel,
that sinks it; but the water that
gets in.
Greater is He that is in you
than he that is in the world.
God is our father and is place
as our father He is our originator.
Of his many originations he is
the father of mercy.
Mercy is describe as the action
of not giving us what we deserve.
“It is of the Lord’s mercies
that we are not consumed”
God’s mercy is unfailing Lam 3:22
God’s mercy is manifold Neh 9:19
God’s mercy is tender Ps 25:6
God’s mercy is great Num 14:19
The Bible frequently speaks of
the “multitude of God’s mercies”
the supply is inexhaustible.
God’s mercy is inviting
Ps 5:7
God’s mercy is according to
His kind love Ps 51:1
God’s mercy is sensitive
Ps 69:13,16
God’s mercy is exhaust-less
Ps 106:7,45
God’s mercy is unfailing
Lam 3:32
Is this a rational question
“does God care”
He is the originator of all care,
He is the source of all comfort,
He is the ocean of all love,
He is in fact the creator of
everything.
As James 1:17 tells us:
Every good gift and every perfect
gift is from above, and comes down
from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness,
neither shadow of turning.
No shadow of turning means
He’s always at high noon
He never casts a shadow
As one has said
“We are not alone in this great
universe, whose awful order,
indifferent to our needs,
strikes a shivering dread into
our hearts.
Behind the veil a Father is
watching and caring,
and by His vigilant providence
is adding, in the measure in
which He sees we need them,
all these things unto us.
Be careful for nothing;
rest calmly in the care of God.”
Since we’re valuable to God,
He made us,
He redeemed us,
He lives in us,
He guards and protects us.
If He shields us and everything
that comes our way must pass
through his watchful care,
than we have to accept it as
His will.
In John 3:27 John answered
and said, A man can receive
nothing, except it be given him
from heaven.
As Peter who was sifted by
Satan as wheat tells us:
1 Peter 4:19
Wherefore let them that suffer
according to the will of God
commit the keeping of their
souls to him in well doing,
as unto a faithful Creator.
Commit means to deposit in a
secure bank our valuable
possessions.
In 2 Tim 1:12 Paul states:
For the which cause I also suffer
these things: nevertheless I am
not ashamed: for I know whom
I have believed, and am persuaded
that he is able to keep that which
I have committed unto him against
that day
“We make our decisions,”
wrote Frank Boreham
“and then our decisions turn
around and make us.”
2 Cor. 3:5 says
Not that we are sufficient of
ourselves to think anything
as of ourselves;
but our sufficiency is of God;
2Chron. 14:11 tells us
And Asa cried unto the LORD
his God, and said, LORD,
it is nothing with You to help,
whether with many, or with them
that have no power:
help us, O LORD our God;
for we rest on You,
and in Your name we go against
this multitude.
O LORD, You are our God;
let not man prevail against
You.

PROBLEMS AND POSSIBILITIES
OUR TROUBLERS’
THEIR INCREASE
LORD, how are they increased
that trouble us!

Many there be which say

There is no help for him in God.

We cried to the LORD
with our voice,
OUR PRIVILEGE
and He heard us
out of His holy hill.
Selah.

SILENT NIGHT
We laid us down and slept;
SECURE NURTURE
We awaked; for the LORD
sustained us.
SURROUNDING NUMBERS
We will not be afraid of ten
thousands of people,
that have set themselves
against us round about.
OUR TRIUMPH
POWERFUL POSSIBILITIES
Arise, O LORD; save us,
O our God:

for You hast smitten all our
enemies on the cheek bone;
You have broken the teeth
of the God rejectors.

Salvation belongs to the LORD:
Your blessing is on Your
people. Selah.
